Operating the GFA System

WARNING

Risk of Injury

If the system moves around unexpectedly, or if reactive forces are absorbed incorrectly, it can lead to severe injuries and property damage.

  • Always check that the system is placed correctly on the head of the nut.

WARNING

Crushing Hazard

The Dual trigger forces the user to use both hands to operate the tool. If not used, the operator can accidentally start the tool while adjusting the crowfoot, thus resulting in a serious hand injury.

  • Make sure the tool cannot be started once the Dual trigger has been released.

  • Always test the tool by first releasing the trigger of the Dual trigger, then push the trigger of the tool. If the tool starts; stop working.

Bending on socket will reduce installed torque for all models.

If the operator puts a bending load on the socket (for example by not holding the tool weight, and letting the tool hang on the screw head) it will reduce the installed torque level. Even though the tool measures and reports a correct torque, the joint will not be properly tightened. This effect is more sensitive at low target torques.

Correct operation.
