Screw pickup
Screw pickup helps the operator to pick up a screw before starting the tightening. The first start signal will trigger the screw pickup function and the second start signal will trigger the tightening. Meaning that the start signal must be pressed/triggered twice to activate the tightening procedure.
Tightening procedure when Screw pickup is enabled:
Activate start signal to pick up screw.
Place the screw in the correct position.
Activate the start signal again to trigger the tightening.
