USING THE BACKFORCE FEATURE:
‘Backforce’ is a feature that compensates for the unnecessary application of downward
pressure on the tool during wire wrapping. A wire wrapping tool will perform the
wrapping function properly without any downward pressure applied, in fact, such
pressure results in a tendency to ‘overwrap’ (refer to Section entitled Wire Wrapping
Technology for further details). A tool with the backforce option contains a spring
mechanism to absorb downward pressure that an unskilled operator might apply.

CAUTION! — ALL PTX TOOLS
This equipment is for indoor industrial/laboratory use only at altitudes up to 2000 m, maximum RH of 80% up to 31°C
decreasing to 50% RH at 40°C. Pollution degree 2 in accordance with IEC644. Installation category II. Temperature range:
5°C to 40°C. The user must be aware that, if the equipment is used in any manner not specified by the manufacturer, safety
may be impaired. When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should be used to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury. Keep work areas clean, well lit, off limits to children and visitors. Disconnect unused tools and store them.
Never use accessories or attachments unless recommended by the original manufacturer. If the supply cord is damaged, or
servicing is required, this work must be carried out by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
230V Tools (PTX-2 & PTX-2BF)
If required, replace the fuse in the main unit with the correct type: T250mA. If a fused mains plug is to be used, ensure
the fuse is of the high breaking capacity type and has a value of no more than: 1A 250V. Any mains plug that requires
removal or replacement must be destroyed by removal of any fuse and fuse carrier and disposed of immediately, as a
plug with bared wires is hazardous if engaged in a live socket.
48V PTX Tools
The 48V tools include cords without plugs, and must never be connected to anything but a 48V A/C or D/C power
source.
