Operation
Ergonomic Guidelines
Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines to identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.
Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.
Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.
Adjust for a convenient reach range by determining where parts and tools need to be located to avoid static load.
Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.
Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.
When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by lowering the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.
Take frequent breaks.
Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly during operations requiring a degree of force.
Adjust for a convenient field of vision that requires minimal eye and head movements.
Use appropriate lighting for the work task.
Select the appropriate tool for the work task.
In noisy environments, use ear protection equipment.
Use high-quality inserted tools and consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.
Minimize exposure to reaction forces.
When cutting:
A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the cut-off wheel is bent or not guided properly. Use the correct flange for the cut-off wheel and avoid bending the cut-off wheel during operation.
When drilling:
The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks through. Use support handles if the stall torque is high. The safety standard ISO11148 part 3 recommends using a device to absorb a reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.
When using direct-driven screwdrivers or nutrunners:
Reaction forces depend on the tool settings and joint characteristics. Strength and posture determine the amount of reaction force that an operator can tolerate. Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if the torque is too high.
In dusty environments, use a dust extraction system or wear a mouth protection mask.
Configuration Instructions
Bit Insertion
Press the slide sleeve into the tool.
Insert the bit.
Release the slide sleeve to engage the bit.
Do not hammer the bit or pull it out by force.
Torque Settings
Select the desired torque setting before operating the screwdriver.
To modify the torque setting, do the following:
To increase the torque, turn the regulating handle clockwise.
To decrease the torque, turn the regulating handle counterclockwise.
When the selected torque is reached, the internal clutch disengages and a click is heard. This indicates that the power to the motor is cut off.
Use a torque meter to check that the tool is set to the desired torque. The engraved marks on the ring are just for reference.
Secure the regulating handle with a torque cover to prevent torque changes.
Do not use the screwdriver over the 80% of the rated maximum torque to avoid inaccurate clutch escape.

Problem | Reason | Action |
|---|---|---|
The screwdriver does not run. | The power adapter is not outputting power. | Turn on the relay inside the screwdriver to measure the output voltage. Make sure that the DC voltage is:
|
The connection wire plug 3P-3P, 5P-5P or 6P-6P is broken. | Replace the connection wire plug with a new connection wire or with a new plug. | |
The forward/reverse button is not working properly and no click is heard when the trigger is pressed. | Replace the trigger. | |
Possible damage on the electric braking system of the power adapter. | Contact our authorized workshops or qualified service technicians to perform the repair. | |
The screwdriver is not rotating normally or the motor runs intermittently during forward operation. | The power adapter has a protective circuit and power is only supplied normally from 3 to 5 seconds after the current flow begins. | Operate the tool in reverse mode or rotate the anvil 90 degrees until a click is heard, then operate the tool in forward mode. |
The bit falls out easily. | The bit does not match the specifications. | Change the bit to one matching the specifications. |
The bit is not inserted correctly. | Remove the bit and reinsert it tightly. | |
The bit wobbles. | The bit is not inserted correctly. | Remove the bit, rotate it 60 or 180 degrees and reinsert it tightly. |
The screwdriver does not stop when the selected torque is reached. | An excessive torque setting can strip the screw threads, as a result, the clutch does not activate. | Lower the torque to a level that does not cause stripping. |
Differences in size between the bit and the screw slot lengths can cause slopping. | Change the bit to a suitable one. | |
Possible damage on the electric braking system or on the sensor switch of the power adapter. | Contact our authorized workshops or qualified service technicians to perform the repair. | |
