Tool Use And Care
Operate the Model TL-900 in 1 - 2 second long bursts. If the tool does not loosen the fastener
(nut or bolt) after (3) 1 – 2 second bursts STOP and use other means to loosen the fastener.
Use only impact “rated” sockets.
Non-impact sockets can break and cause
personal injury or property damage
.
Always finger tighten fasteners before securing with the
Model TL-900
to avoid cross-
threading.
Make certain that impact sockets are securely seated over the fastener prior to tightening or
loosening a bolt or nut.
Always use the correct size impact socket size.
Incorrect sockets can damage the fastener or
slip off causing injury.
Always clean your
Model TL-900
and all electrical connectors after use.
Operating Instructions
Hold the
Model TL-900
firmly using both hands while operating it. Always wear safety gog-
gles or other approved eye protection.
Heavy
impacting can cause flying debris that can cause
permanent eye damage.
Sockets and fasteners can get hot during operation.
Use protective gloves when handling them.
Do not operate the
Model TL-900
for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the tool’s impact-
ing action may be harmful to your hands and arms. Use thick gloves to provide extra cushion and
limit exposure by taking frequent rest periods.
Operating Voltage
Your
Model TL-900
requires a source of 24-30 VDC that is capable of providing 100 AMPS
(intermittent) to generate optimum impacting strength.
If you have a solid source of 24-30 VDC applied to your
Model TL-900
and the impacting strength of the
tool seems
sluggish or weak, please contact DC-Matic to obtain a return authorization (RMA) so we can
expedite the repair or replacement of your tool or arrange to have a new set of motor brushes sent to
you.
Thermal Protection/Cut Off
Your
Model TL-900
is equipped with an internal, bi-metal thermostat that will shut-down the tool (kill the
trigger switch) when the tool becomes over-heated. Testing has revealed that this tool’s thermal
protection circuit will not activate if the
Model TL-900
is used intermittently and allowed an adequate
amount of cool-down time between uses.
Note:
When used in an ambient temperature of 90 degrees F the average amount of time needed for
the thermal protection circuit to re-set time is (30) minutes.
Control Box
Your
Model TL-900
is equipped with a forward-positioned, 12-cluster LED work light (shown in
Fig. 1
).
The
work light’s On/Off
switch is located on the control box (shown in
Fig. 3
). To achieve the highest
degree of workplace safety always turn
ON
the work light when operating the
Model TL-900
in a low or
no-light environment.
The control box is “Factory Sealed” and must remain that way. Unauthorized
opening of the control box will void the tool’s warranty.
