USING THE TOOL
•
Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from the reaction arm and working area during operation.

This tool will exert a strong reaction force. Use proper mechanical support and correct reaction arm
positioning to control these forces. Do not position the reaction arm so that it tilts the tool off the axis of the
bolt and never use the swivel inlets as a reaction stop.
•
Avoid sharp bends and kinks that will cause severe back-up pressure in hoses and lead to premature hose
failure.
•
Use accessories recommended by TorcUP.
•
Use only impact sockets and accessories. Do not use hand (chrome) sockets or accessories.
•
Use only sockets and accessories that correctly fit the bolt or nut and function without tilting the tool off the
axis of the bolt.

This tool is not insulated against electric shock.
•
This equipment must not be operated or serviced unless the operator read the operating instructions and
fully understands the purpose, consequences and procedure of each step.

When operating a larger tool (TXU-16) above waist height, employ a secondary means of support for safety
purposes. A tool sling or chains may be used. Consult your safety department for further suggestions.
Depending on the working environment your local health and safety regulations may require
you wear protective gear (i.e. safety shoes, hard hat, gloves, coveralls, etc.). In case external
forces are exerted on the equipment, non-compliance with these regulations may result in
injury. EAR PROTECTION MUST BE WORN WHEN OPERATING THIS TOOL.
