RIDGID RGSN31075 Manual De Instrucciones

Failure to properly use wrenches can result in serious injury.
WARNING
Always use the correct pipe wrench. Pipe wrenches are available in a number of different styles and sizes
particular to the job they are designed for:
Mount The Pipe Wrench Correctly On
The Work Piece
When using a pipe wrench of any size, a gap must be
maintained between the shank of the hook jaw and the
pipe itself. This permits the pressure of the two gripping
points (the heel jaw and the teeth of the hook jaw) to pro-
duce the gripping action of the wrench. Allowing the
back of the hook jaw to contact the pipe greatly reduces
the gripping action of the wrench and can cause the
wrench to slip. It may also result in the failure of the hook
jaw. Maximum grip and turning force is developed by
maintaining a gap of approximately
the back of the hook jaw and the work piece.
