TOOL ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove hand protector, back off lock nut away from
body of tool to allow free movement of adjustment screw.
2. Secure tool in RTCG-75 or equivalent setting gage for
precise calibration. If precise calibration isn’t required,
you can set the tool by holding the tool firmly by hand on
a scale or other weight indicating device, and apply axial
force until the end of the slide is aligned with the indicator
mark. Note reading of force on gage (or accurate weight-
scale).
3. Adjust tool to required force by turning adjustment
screw with a screwdriver, clockwise to increase force
and counterclockwise to decrease force. When required
value is achieved, tighten lock nut firmly while maintaining
alignment of slide and indicator line. Tool is now set.
4. Note: Inspection stickers may be used to seal hand
protector onto tool body, in order to signal any tampering
with the adjustment screw.
