4. Safe Use
OVERLOAD HAZARD. The puller may break if it is overloaded causing damage,
SERIOUS INJURY, or DEATH.
ALWAYS take the following precautions to avoid damage, serious injury, or
death:
•
NEVER use electric or pneumatic torque multipliers or impact wrenches.
•
NEVER use electric, pneumatic or percussion drivers.
•
NEVER lengthen the drive tool for the puller.
•
NEVER hit the drive tool with a hammer.
•
If maximum force has been applied, and the part has not moved, use a
puller with a larger capacity.
•
DO NOT hit the part with a hammer in an attempt to jar it loose.
•
ALWAYS use a Protective Safety Cover when using the puller.
For added safety, GEDORE highly recommends the
use of a Protective Safety Cover (shown in photo)
when using the puller.
Cover the puller setup and part to be pulled with the
Protective Safety Cover* before applying force. High
forces exerted on the part being pulled can cause
breakage and flying debris. Safety covers provide
maximum active-safety protection from suddenly
detaching ball bearings, driving pinions, or other
small parts.
* See Section 7, Optional Accessories. Protective Safety Cover
available at www.gedore.com, part number 5.10.
