Use personal safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Do not expose digital torque tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a digital torque tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Ratchet mechanism may slip of break if dirty, mismatched or worn parts are used, or direction lever
is not fully engaged. Ratchets that slip or break can cause injury.
Always pull-do not push- on the wrench handle and adjust your stance to prevent a possible fall
while applying torque.
