• Do not use sockets that are used on impact wrenches. The impact deforms the drive
hole of the socket and hardens and brittles the steel. This can cause fracture of the
steel and increases the risk of flying objects.
• Make sure that the width across flats of the socket corresponds to the width across
flats of the nut or the bolt. Note the difference between metric and imperial
measurements.
• Place the tool with the socket on the nut or the bolt. Make sure that the socket is
placed over the nut or the bolt as far as possible.
• Make sure that the socket is secured to the tool.
• Do not use common extension pieces or step-up/step-down adapters. HYTORC can
develop customized accessories to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your
local HYTORC representative for more information.
