RAD tools have been designed with safety in mind however, as with all tools you must observe all general
workshop safety practices, and specifically the following:
• Before using your new tool, get familiar with all its accessories and how they work.
• Always wear safety goggles when the tool is in operation.
• Make sure the reaction arm is in contact with a solid contact point before you operate the tool.
• Keep your body parts clear of the reaction arm and the contact point.
• Make sure the reaction arm snap ring is securely in place to hold the reaction arm or blank in place.
RAD tools are safe and reliable. Not following precautions and instructions outlined here can result in
injury to you and your fellow workers. RAD Torque Systems B.V. is not responsible for any such injury.
