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
personalinjury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at thefastener.
2. Press variable speed trigger switch
3
to start operation.
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 fasteningtorque.
‑ Accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory
size will cause a reduction in fasteningtorque.
‑ Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require
higher fastening torque. Fastening torque
will also vary according to length, grade, and
torquecoefficient.
‑ Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other
debris to allow proper fasteningtorque.
‑ Material: The type of material and surface finish of
the material will affect fasteningtorque.
‑ 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 ordamaged.
