Tightening
1. Fit the PneuTorque
®
with the correct size impact or high quality socket to suit fastener.
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.
The drive squares all include a hole to accommodate a socket retaining pin.
(Note: Socket & retaining pin not included)
TIP: The exhaust air (containing oil) is expelled from the tool at the bottom of the handle. The
exhaust barrel can rotate to allow the operator to direct the flow of air away from them.
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 tightened with the reaction bar adjacent to the reaction point. See Figure 8.
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 tool stalls then release trigger.
If the trigger is not fully pressed full torque
will not be applied to the fastener.
7. Remove the tool from the fastener.
TIP: Air flow can cool the handle. It is
recommended that the operator
wear suitable gloves.
TIP: In the event that lubrication fails
and / or contaminated air (e.g.
water) enters the tool it is strongly
recommended that the tool is free
run on a clean, dry and lubricated
air supply for several minutes.
