Releasing
NOTE: Only for bi-directional tools.
1. Fit the Pneutorque
®
with the correct size impact or high quality socket to suit the fastener to be released.
TIP: For added safety it is recommended to secure the socket to the square drive.
This is often achieved using a pin and O ring, see socket manufacturer for guidance.
2. Ensure the clockwise/counter-clockwise selector is correctly set.
3. Rotate the handle into a convenient position relative to the reaction bar. Fit the tool onto the fastener to
be released with the reaction bar adjacent to the reaction point. See Figure 6.
4. Adopt a suitable posture to counteract normal or unexpected movement of the tool due to reaction
forces.
5. Squeeze the trigger partially to bring the reaction bar into contact with the reaction point.
6. Fully press trigger and keep fully pressed until threaded fastener releases.
TIP: If unable to release the fastener, increase the air pressure to the tool. Do not exceed the
maximum air pressure for the tool.
WARNING: EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE WILL CAUSE OVERLOADING
AND MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE.
WARNING: CHANGING THE AIR PRESSURE AFTER SETTING THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR WILL CHANGE THE STALL TORQUE VALUE.
