WARNING!
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from
the declared total value depending on how the tool is used. Identify safety
measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running
idle in addition to the trigger time).
CAUTION!
It is recommended that the operator wears hearing protection.
Cycle of Operation
A Cycle of Operation or a Tool Cycle is defined as:

General Operating Instructions
WARNING!
Only qualified personnel with training in the safe operation of torque tooling
and the RAD® Pneumatic Tool should operate this tool.The RAD® Pneumatic Tool
operates in Torque Cycles. The Torque Cycle passes when the Actual Torque
reaches the Target Torque and the Cycle fails if it is interrupted and the
Actual Torque does not reach the Target Torque. This section instructs the
operator in the assembly of the RAD® Pneumatic Tool, proper use of the
Reaction Arm, and how to conduct a Torque Cycle.
Tool Assembly
- Blow out hoses before connecting.
- Connect the wrench Air Inlet to the outside of the Cage Assembly, observing airflow direction.
- Connect air supply to Inlet side of Cage Assembly using a minimum hose size of ½ inch.
- Check oil level in lubricator and fil to correct level.
- Attach Reaction Arm to Spline or Serpentine adjacent to the Output Drive of the wrench and secure with the snap ring.
Reaction Arm
WARNING!
Always keep body parts clear of the Reaction Arm when the RAD® Pneumatic Tool
is in use. Serious injury could occur.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the Reaction Arm has a solid contact point before operating the
RAD® Pneumatic Tool. Improper reaction will void the warranty and can cause
premature tool failure. Always keep body parts clear of the Reaction Arm when
the RAD® Pneumatic Tool System is in use. Serious injury could occur.
Installing the Reaction Arm
Slide the Reaction Arm onto the spline or serpentine fitting and secure the
Snap Ring to hold the Reaction Arm in place.
Note: Ensure that the reaction arm and snap ring are installed securely to hold the reaction arm in place.
Reaction Points
Make sure that the reaction arm is in contact with a solid reaction point
before you operate the tool.When the tool is in operation the Reaction Arm
rotates in the opposite direction to the Output Square Drive and must be
allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the
bolt to be tightened.
Personal Safety
CAUTION!
Keep your hands clear of the Reaction Arm and joint when the tool is in
operation.
Reaction Arm Height
Ensure that the height of the socket is even with the height of the Reaction
Arm.
CORRECT: The Reaction Arm and socket are even height.
- The height of the socket cannot be shorter or higher than the height of the Reaction Arm. INCORRECT: The leg of the Reaction Arm is too short on the left side, and too long on the right side.
Reaction Arm Foot
Ensure that the foot of the Reaction Arm aligns with the length of the
reaction point. CORRECT: The foot of the Reaction Arm aligns with the reaction
point.
The length of the foot cannot be shorter or longer than the reaction point. INCORRECT: The reaction point is too close in the left image and too far in the right image. Do not react against the heel of the reaction arm.
Please contact New World Technologies Inc. or your local RAD Authorized distributor for custom Reaction Arms.
Setting Torque for Bolt Tightening
Every RAD® Torque Wrench is supplied with a Torque Chart which relates output
to air pressure. Set the torque as follows:
- Ensure that the Forward/Reverse switch is set to the Forward position.
- Establish the air pressure required using the Torque Chart. Adjust the regulator until the correct pressure is shown on the gauge.
CAUTION!
Do not exceed maximum air pressure setting on the Torque Chart.
IMPORTANT!
The wrench must be free running while adjusting the air pressure to give the
correct setting.
Setting Torque for Bolt Loosening
- Ensure that the Forward/Reverse switch is set to the Reverse position.
- Establish maximum air pressure from the Torque Chart and set the air pressure the same as with tightening.
WARNING!
Exceeding the maximum air pressure will overload the wrench and may cause
serious damage.
Operating the Wrench
-
Fit the wrench with the correct size impact socket to suit the bolt to be tightened.
-
Check the Forward/Reverse switch is in the correct position.
-
Rotate the handle to a convenient position relative to the Reaction Arm.
-
Fit the tool to the bolt to be tightened with the Reaction Arm adjacent to the Reaction Point (Figure 3.2.1-1).
-
Squeeze the Trigger partially to bring the Reaction Arm into contact with the Reaction Point.
WARNING!
Keep hands clear of the Reaction Arm.
WARNING!
The tool must be supported at all times during use to prevent unexpected release in the event of a fastener or component failure. -
Fully depress the Trigger and keep fully depressed until wrench stalls. If the Trigger is released before the wrench stalls, full torque will not be applied to the bolt.
-
Release the Trigger and remove the tool from the bolt.
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT!
Disassembling or attempting repair will void warranty. If breakdown,
malfunction, or error occurs, contact New World Technologies Inc. Technical
Support (refer to Section 5.0 – Contact Us).
