UNEXPECTED REACTION FORCES
To Avoid Injury:
•
Be prepared – when a tool operates in reverse, the tool's torque reaction is
opposite to the reaction produced when the tool operates in forward direction.
•
The tool can have a higher initial reaction force when loosening a fastener.
•
Always stop the tool before changing direction of spindle rotation.

Torque Reaction Devices

PINCH POINT BETWEEN TORQUE REACTION BAR AND WORK
PIECE
To Avoid Injury:
• Never place any body part between a reaction bar and the work piece.
• Before starting the tool, position the reaction bar firmly against a
stationary rigid member that is opposite to the spindle rotation.
Torque reaction devices absorb tool torque reaction forces. Always use reaction
devices when high reaction force could injure an operator.
