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
1
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 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.
