exposed to hazards due to crushing, impacts,
cutting, friction and heat. Wear suitable gloves to
protect the hands.

In cases in which aids are necessary to absorb
the reaction torque, it is recommended that a
hanger is used whenever possible. If this is not
possible, side grips are recommended for tools
with a straight grip and machines with a pistol
grip. In all cases, it is recommended that aids are
used to absorb the reaction torque if it is greater
than 4 Nm for tools with a straight grip, greater
than 10 Nm for tools with a pistol grip and
greater than 60 Nm for angle drivers.
