# Operating the HAD 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.

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.
