Think Safety • Never expose any torque wrench to excessive heat, which may change the hardness or microstructure and ruin the tool. • Never use torque wrenches for prying or as a hammer. • Inspect and discard bent, worn or damaged torque wrenches. TORQUE MULTIPLIERS • Users and bystanders must wear safety goggles. • To avoid possible eye injury from flying objects, safety goggles or equivalent protection conforming to ANSI Z87.1 shall be worn and kept clean by the user and all persons in the immediate area where any tool is being used. • A torque multiplier generates an output torque much greater than the input torque. Do not use a torque multiplier without reading and learning the safety and operating instructions that are provided with each torque multiplier. • Users must wear hard hats, gloves and steel toed boots. • Users shall apply a controlled force with a stance adjusted and braced to prevent rapid bodily movement or a fall if sudden release occurs. • Never sharpen or alter a screwdriver to change the fit. • Use the correct size nutdriver to fit the fastener. Do not use inch nutdrivers on metric fasteners or metric nutdrivers on inch fasteners because the fit is not good enough. • Never use a screwdriver or nutdriver for prying, punching, chiseling, scoring or scraping. • Never hammer on screwdrivers or nutdrivers and never use a screwdriver or a nutdriver as a hammer. • Never use cheater bars to increase handle leverage. • Never expose any screwdriver or nutdriver to excessive heat, which may change the hardness or microstructure and ruin the tool. • Never use pliers on the handle of a screwdriver or nutdriver to get extra turning power. A wrench can be used on the square shank or bolster of screwdrivers designed for that purpose. • Keep handles clean for a secure grip. • Inspect and discard bent, worn, cracked, or damaged screwdrivers or nutdrivers. Do not grind or attempt to repair screwdrivers. HEX KEYS • Users and bystanders must wear safety goggles. • Only use impact sockets with torque multipliers and secure to the output square with a retaining pin & O-ring. Never use hand sockets or any attachments (including adaptors) with torque multipliers. • To avoid possible eye injury from flying objects, safety goggles or equivalent protection conforming to ANSI Z87.1 shall be worn and kept clean by the user and all persons in the immediate area where any tool is being used. • Before each use, inspect and replace any torque multiplier output squares showing signs of wear or cracks. • Comfort or plastic grips on handles are not intended to give any degree of protection against electric shock and shall not be used on or near live electric circuits. • Before each use, inspect and tighten the torque multiplier holding screws. • Before each use, inspect and replace any impact sockets or fasteners showing signs of wear or cracks. • Users shall apply a controlled force with a stance adjusted and braced to prevent rapid bodily movement or a fall if sudden release occurs. • Do not use impact guns with torque multipliers. • Never hammer on a hex key. • Do not use breaker bars with torque multipliers. • Never use a pipe or cheater bar on the handle or ke
