HOW TO MAKE TOOL OPERATION SAFER
Entanglement hazard
l Hands and other objects (long
hair, necklaces etc.) can get
entangled with the rotating
drive, causing severed or broken
fingers.
l Do not use gloves.
l Never hold the drive, socket or
extension with your hands.
Hold the tool correctly
l Keep hands and other objects
(long hair, necklace, etc.) away
from the rotating drive, socket
or extension.
l Hold the tool correctly with one
hand on the handle of the tool
and the other hand on the top
of the angle head.
Supported extensions
l If you use an extension, never
hold the extension with your
hand while it is rotating. If you
need to guide the extension,
in order to locate the socket
quickly and accurately, use an
accessory to reduce the risk of
entanglement.
Other advantages are:
- Longer life for angle gear.
- More uniform tightening
results.
Use goggles
l Always use goggles to protect
your eyes from objects that
might accidentally fly into your
face.

Reaction bar
l When a reaction bar is used,
keep hands away from the
reaction bar while tightening a
joint, otherwise hands may get
squeezed.
Open end tools
l Never put your finger into the
open end of a tool, even if a
dual action trigger is used.
l To avoid accidents, to activate
the tool, both triggers must be
pressed within 500 ms.
Angle nutrunners with
reaction bar
l Use reaction bar at high torque.
For soft joints, a reaction bar
should be used at >60 Nm.
Screwdrivers
l Consider using a support handle
or support arms, particularly
for straight versions and for
torques of 6 Nm and upwards.
