9. OTHER PRECAUTIONS
(1) Check for cracks or other damage on the socket
Cracks or any other faults on the socket are very hazardous. In addition, cracks or other
damage to accessories will cause loss of tightening torque efficiency. Advise the customer to
inspect accessories often, and ensure there are no abnormalities.
(2) Socket dimensions
Without fail, utilize an appropriate socket which matches the bolt and/or nut dimensions. If the
socket dimensions are larger than the bolts or nuts, it will not only cause insufficient tightening
torque, but could also easily cause damage to the socket. Please refer to the tables in Para.
6-2 for appropriate socket dimensions.
(3) Hammering section lubrication
Grease (Molub-Alloy 777-1) is utilized in the hammering section. Frequent or continuous use
of the tool will cause excessive temperature rise of the hammering section, resulting in
depletion of the grease and subsequent increased wear of components which will, in turn,
cause loss of tightening efficiency. Accordingly, it is necessary to periodically replenish the
grease in the hammering section to ensure proper lubrication of moving and sliding
components.
