Proper clamping quality is defi ned when the fl ange fi tted can rotate on itself but cannot translate on the support.
6.3 CLAMPING
Slide the pre-tightened fl ange onto the bundle or any other work support in the tool head while positioning the
rough face of the fl ange on the teeth side preferably. This precaution is not always useful according to the fl anges,
but is recommended for better clamping control.
i Slide the tool head by approaching with a 45° angle to optimize insertion of the fl ange.
2. Press the trigger while maintaining the pliers pressed against the fl ange head and proper
alignment until the fl ange is cut.
o
i
According to pretightening performed, you may have to release the trigger to reach the tightening torque
set and automatic cutting.
3. After cutting, the fl ange waste is maintained as long as the trigger remains pressed.
4. Release the trigger to release the fl ange waste and return the head to the rest position.
i
The fl ange waste can be recovered without releasing the trigger.
5. Repeat the operation to perform a new clamp tightening.
Always keep your hands or persons away from the head when pressing the trigger to avoid any danger
when pulling and cutting clamps.
Beware the risk of pinching, always keep your hand away from the head when pressing the
trigger.
6.4 LOCKING THE TIGHTENING TORQUE SETTING
If required by the user, always lock the tightening torque setting to avoid using the clamp in a non desired position.
A lock screw is available on the tool head to perform this function. Use a 1.5 mm BTR key by FACOM reference
83SH.1.5 supplied in the box.
