The Screw Fastening Process

WARNING

Risk of Severe Injury

Never operate the tool wearing loose objects. Choking, scalping or other severe bodily injuries can occur if loose clothing, jewellery, neck ware and hair is not kept away from tool or accessories.

  • Never wear gloves when operating the tool.

  • Keep loose clothing, jewellery, neck ware and hair away from rotating drive or accessories.

WARNING

Compressed Air

High air pressure can cause severe damage and bodily injury.

  • Do not exceed maximum air pressure.

  • Make sure that there are no damaged or loose hoses or fittings.

WARNING

High Air Pressure and Projectile Hazard

Always verify that all connections between the Feeding Tube and the Swivel Arm are securely fastened before pressurizing the tool. Otherwise screws can escape at high speed and cause serious injury, especially to the eyes.

  • For this reason, the pneumatic power supply must be switched off and vented during all work on the Screw Feeding Tightening Module, or the "Bit Change" mode must be set on the Screw Feeding Unit.

Do not use force when handling the Screw Feeding Tightening Module.

Never use a Screw Feeding Tightening Module if the trigger does not work properly. Any Screw Feeding Tightening Module that can not be controlled by the trigger is a source of danger and must be repaired.

Use only accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The connection of unsuitable accessories is a potential source of danger.

Check the Screw Feeding Tightening Module for any incorrect adjustments, jammed moving parts, damage, and other faults that could affect the operation of the device.

  • The Screw Feeding Tightening Module is held and guided by the handle or pistol grip. The screw feeding process is started by pressing the trigger on the handle or pistol grip.

  • The screw is automatically blown from the Screw Feeding Unit, through the Feeding Tube, to the Feeding Head of the Screw Feeding Tightening Module. The screw is then held in the Alignment Jaws and the Swivel Arm swivels out. The Bit Complete is now in intermediate position.

  • To pick up weight and torque of the Screw Feeding Tightening Module, and guide it by hand to the location of the screw fastening, a movable support (e.g., gallows) can be used.
