Clamp Pipe
Clamp on pipe when joint is centered between
wrenches (1 and 2). Always clamp on the larger
diameter areas on either side of the tool joint face.
Turning shaft can kill you or crush arm or leg. Stay away.
To help avoid injury:
Clamping anywhere else on the pipe will weaken the pipe. Pipe can later
break, even when operating under normal loads.
Read operator’s manual. Know how to use all controls
before operating machine. When you see this sign
on the machine or
in the manual, read it and use caution. Your safety is at stake.
To help avoid injury:
Wrenches can open after engine shutdown. Ensure that any downhole tool or pipe in tool joint vises is
attached to spindle or removed before transport.
