Safe Practices and Procedures Responsibility "It is the responsibility of the employer to train the employee in the proper selection and usage of tools, chains, etc., and to ensure that they are selected and used in that manner. In many instances, injury results because it is assumed that anybody knows how to use common hand tools. Observations and the record show that this is not the case.
Safety Goggles must always be worn by persons in any area where hand and powered tools are being used. Never apply excess leverage to a wrench or tool by means of a "Cheater Bar". Never strike wrenches and tools with hammers or other objects. All tools should be kept clean, inspected on a regular basis, and replaced when they show signs of wear. Be especially careful not to place yourself in a position that could result in bodily injury in the event of a failure.
Responsibility of Distributors IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASERS OF GEARENCH PRODUCTS TO CONVEY THE INFORMATION IN THIS PUBLICATION AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE INDIVIDUAL PRODUCT, THROUGH THE CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION, DOWN TO AND INCLUDING THE INDIVIDUAL USING THE PRODUCT NOTE: In view of the fact that the actual use determines whether safety requirements have been met, the ultimate responsibility to comply rests with the end user.
Safety Precautions 1. Always wear safety goggles to protect eyes. 2. Select the right tool for the job. 3. Keep tools in good condition. 4. Use tools correctly. 5. Keep tools in a safe place. 6. Wear protective clothing, gloves and safety shoes as appropriate. 7. Use only PETOL™ & TITAN™ replacement parts to ensure proper strength.

The tong will exert torque in the direction shown. The tong will ratchet when moved in a direction opposite to the line pull. Ratcheting is used when the tong must be pulled more than once to completely makeup or breakout the connection. Suspension The tong should be suspended by the attached hanger.

Non-Destructive Evaluation The figure below indicates the critical areas of the tong handle. A critical area is defined as an area in which no unrepaired crack indications are permitted and in which no major weld repairs are permitted. There are no critical areas on the jaw that meet these criteria.
Weld Repairs Scope: This procedure is to be followed for minor repairs of crack indications in heat treated alloy steels. A weld repair shall be considered minor when the depth of the cavity does not exceed 30% of the actual wall thickness or 1 inch, whichever is smaller, or when the extent of the cavity does not exceed approximately 10 square inches. Major weld repairs must be performed by GEARENCH™ or an approved repair center using appropriate procedures followed by full heat treatment and load testing.
Weld blending and inspection: The weld is to be ground flush with the adjacent parent material. The weld is to be inspected by magnetic particle to verify that the weld area is free of all crack indications.
