Usage (Fig. A)
CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the
level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque may cause
breakage and possible personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press variable speed trigger switch
Release variable speed trigger switch to stop operation. Always
check torque with a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is
affected by many factors including the following:
- Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged battery, will
reduce fastening torque.
- accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory size will
cause a reduction in fastening torque.
- Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require higher
fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary according to
length, grade, and torque coefficient.
- Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris to
allow proper fastening torque.
- Material: The type of material and surface finish of the
material will affect fastening torque.
- Fastening time: Longer fasten ing time results in increased
fastening torque. Using a longer fastening time than
recommended could cause the fasteners to be overstressed,
stripped or damaged.
