• Take extreme care to prevent the
S-Series torque wrench from being
dropped on the floor or onto any other
metallic surface that might cause
mechanical sparks at impact. Also, take
every precation to prevent other tools
(or other metallic objects) from dropping
onto the S-Series torque wrench.
Electrostatic Discharge
• Electrostatic discharge is a potential
source of ignition and can result in
electrostatic build-up on isolated
conductive parts. Isolated conductive
parts create capacitive poles which can
become charged. Electrostatic discharge
risk is minimized by the hydraulic hoses,
which have multiple layers of steel
braiding, resulting in electrical continuity
between the torque wrench and the
grounded hydraulic pump.
• Non-conductive polyester labels could
be a site for electrostatic build-up.
However, electrostatic build-up is
prevented by the close proximity of the
grounded torque wrench body.
