This document provides instructions for properly using chain-tongs, which are tools used to make up and break out tubulars. It describes chain-tongs have three main components: a chain, nut and bolt, and jaws. It outlines proper usage such as not applying side loads, not using as a lever, and not modifying the chain-tongs. It emphasizes the importance of inspecting chain-tongs for damage and wearing parts. Specific instructions are provided for making up and breaking out tubulars using chain-tongs as well as locking the chain, removing chain-tongs, and maintaining control of the chain. Hazards of improper use are highlighted.

The Nursery Rhymes powerpoint show is not dealing with the lyrics but just a few lines and then the photo or image. Accompanied with Strauss, Roses from the South. Enjoy!
James Dias, CEO, and Lucas Dailey, Senior User Experience Designer, will present a workshop, “Designing connected care solutions at the intersection of medicine and finance” on Saturday, September 6th from 2:20-3:50 PM PDT.
The workshop will explore how the business of performance-based healthcare requires a balance between giving patients the best possible quality outcomes and doing it in a cost effective manner. This emphasis on value-driven medicine is producing the opportunity for new technology solutions that address both care and costs. Designing effective solutions for “Connected Care” requires an interdisciplinary approach that brings together the disparate fields of healthcare economics, patient engagement, and digital technology.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way.
2. CHAIN-TONGS ARE AN EXTREMELY USEFUL
TOOL. THEY ARE USED TO ASSIST IN THE
MAKE UP AND BREAK OUT OF TUBULARS.
THEY CAN ALSO BE VERY DANGEROUS.
Designed and sized to
provide extra leverage
for the toughest jobs.
3. CHAIN-TONGS ARE MADE UP OF THREE MAINCHAIN-TONGS ARE MADE UP OF THREE MAIN
COMPONENTSCOMPONENTS
CHAIN
NUT & BOLT
JAWS
4. Do not apply a side load to the handle – Putting a strain on the tong that it was not designed for
can result in a broken jaw or twisted handle.
Do not use as a lever, lifting device or to bend tubing – Tong is designed to turn pipe. Improper
use may result in damage to the handle.
Do not use in conjunction with a power drive, threading machine or any mechanical/hydraulic
device to make or break – Use of a power drive, threading machine/hydraulic devices to apply
force to the handle can result in wrench failure and/or serious personal injury.
Do not modify or alter a Chain-tong – Modifying may result in tong failure and serious
injury.
Do not use a tong that is not properly maintained. Inspect your wrench frequently
for damaged or worn parts.
Clean teeth with a wire brush. Dirt in jaw may result in the wrench slipping.
Replace jaws with worn teeth or any other damage. This may result in the wrench slipping or possible
failure of the jaw.
Inspect chain for separation of the links or any other damage. This indicates the chain has been overstressed
and should be replaced.
To prevent rusting, keep chain and jaw well lubricated with oil and store in a dry place.
Do not use a tong with a bent or twisted handle – A bent handle indicates the tong has been
overloaded and could be damaged. A bent handle should never be straightened. A tong with a bent or
twisted handle should be taken out of service.
Do not use cheaters – A “cheater” is usually a piece of pipe slipped over the handle of a tong to
increase the amount of leverage. This may result in the bending and/or breaking of the tong
handle. A “Cheater” can also slip off the handle during use, causing injury. If greater leverage is needed
use a larger set of chain-tongs.
THINGS TO KNOW
6. • WHEN USING TONGS TO MAKE-UP, HOLD TONGS
IN RIGHT HAND.
• WHEN USING TO BREAK-OUT, HOLD TONGS IN
LEFT HAND.
• NOTE: THIS ONLY VARIES WHEN A
TUBULAR/THREADS ARE UPSIDE DOWN - A GOOD
RULE OF THUMB TO REMEMBER IS THAT
USUALLY YOU ARE PULLING TONG TAIL
TOWARDS YOURSELF WITH RIGHT HAND WHEN
MAKING UP. WHEN THREADS ARE UPSIDE DOWN
YOU ARE PUSHING TAIL AWAY FROM YOU WITH
LEFT HAND.
• REMEMBER CHAIN ALWAYS GOES AROUND THE
BACK SIDE OF TUBULAR.
• ALWAYS BE IN CONTROL OF THE CHAIN
USING CHAIN-TONGS
PROPERLY
7. BRING THE CHAIN AROUND, AND TO JAWS.
