Pipe Wrench Use Guide

WARNING

Read the warnings and instruc-

tions for all equipment and material

being used before operating this

tool to reduce the risk of serious

personal injury or death.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as non-skid safety

shoes, hard hat, etc. used for appropriate conditions will

reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Do not use handle extensions (“cheaters”). Handle

extensions may damage the wrench or slip and cause

serious injury.

• Do not use with a threading machine to install or

remove (make or break) fittings. This can cause striking

or crushing injuries.

• Do not use come-a-longs, chain hoists, handle exten-

sions, backhoes, threading machines, drill rigs or

other mechanical, hydraulic or powered devices to

activate pipe wrenches to install or remove (make

or break) fittings. Do not use excessive force. Pipe

wrenches are hand tools designed to be used by hand.

Use of these types of devices with pipe wrenches can

result in wrench and equipment damage and failure from

overload and increases the risk of striking, crushing or

other serious injuries or death.

• Do not use a wrench with a bent or twisted handle.

A bent handle indicates the wrench has been overloaded

and is damaged. A bent handle should never be straight-

ened. Remove bent or twisted wrenches from service.

• Do not modify or alter a pipe wrench. Modifying a pipe

wrench may result in wrench failure and serious injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at

all times. This enables better control of the tool in unex-

pected situations.

• Do not hit a wrench with a hammer to break loose

a fitting. Impact loading may damage the wrench, chip

wrench teeth or cause serious injury.

• Do not misuse pipe wrenches. Misuse increases the

risk of serious injury.

Do not use as a hammer.

Do not apply a side load to the handle.

Do not use as a lever, lifting device or bender.

Do not use the wrench on hard, square, hexagonal or

other non-round material.

Pipe Wrench Use Guide

Pipe wrenches are designed to turn pipe. Improper use

may result in damage or injury.

• Do not use near flame or high heat. Teeth on the hook

or heel jaw could become soft. This may result in chipping

or flattening of the teeth. This reduces its strength which

may result in failure.

• Properly support the work piece. Failure to properly

support the work piece can cause falling or shifting pipe

and equipment and increases the risk of injury.

• When using pipe wrenches with other RIDGID

prod-

ucts, follow the instructions supplied with that product.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when using tools. Do not use when you are tired

or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating tools may result

in serious personal injury.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools

allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety

principles. A careless action can cause severe injury in a

fraction of a second.

• Pipe wrenches are general use tools that can be used in a

variety of situations. Ridge Tool cannot provide guidance on

all possible use situations. Users must evaluate the specific

work scenario and apply training, good work practices and

methods to reduce risk.

NOTICE

Selection of appropriate materials and installation,

joining and forming methods is the responsibility of the system

designer and/or installer. Selection of improper materials and

methods could cause system failure.

Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials can

be contaminated during installation, joining and forming. This

contamination could cause corrosion and premature failure.

Careful evaluation of materials and methods for the specific

service conditions, including chemical and temperature,

should be completed before any installation is attempted.

Llaves para tubos – modo de empleo Las llaves para tubos pueden aplicar mucha fuerza sobre un tubo, suficiente para ovalar o aplastar el tubo, especialmente si se trata de tubos de pared delgada. Los dientes de las mandíbulas de la llave logran agarrar el tubo al incrustarse en el material del tubo. Esto altera el acabado superficial del tubo y podría crear bordes filosos y cortantes. Eje del gancho Seleccione una llave para tubos que sea del tamaño y del tipo apropiados para la tarea.
