INTENDED USE
This tool is intended to drive threaded fastener to join wood, metal and other materials.
GENERAL OPERATION
This tool is equipped with a teasing throttle. By slightly depressing the trigger the bit will rotate slowly. This is useful for starting fastener. The tool will run
at maximum speed when the trigger is fully depressed.
CLUTCH OPERATION INFORMATION
STALL DRIVE ...................................................................................................... Spindle turns with motor. Motor stalls when fastener is tight.
POSITIVE CLUTCH-ANGULAR JAW .................................................................. Spindle doesn’t turn with motor. Pressure on spindle engages angular
jaws to turn spindle. Clutch ratchets when certain tightness is reached.
Torque on the fastener is determined by how hard the operator pushes on
the tool.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH ...................................................................................... Spindle doesn’t turn with motor. Pressure on spindle engages the clutch,
causing the spindle to turn. When fastener reaches a preset torque, clutch
will ratchet. Adjusting spring pressure will change torque.
