Identification of Parts
BTL-0XB Operating Instructions
1. With the power off, connect one end of the Driver Cord to the
5 Pin Connector on the Power Supply. Connect the other end of
the cord to the 5 Pin Connector on the driver. Tighten the Lock
Ring to keep the cord in place.
2. Select the proper bit for the application. Pull the Joint Shaft
Collar forward to insert or remove the bit.
3. Adjust the torque by tightening or loosening the Torque
Adjusting Nut. Refer to the Torque Chart for approximate
torque values. After the torque is set, use the torque cover to
protect the preset torque from unwanted adjustment.
4. Turn the power switch on the power supply to the ON position.
5. Turn the RPM adjustment knob on the power supply with a
flat bit to set the working RPM.
6. Hold the tool so that your trigger finger is on the Forward
Lever and your thumb can operate the Reverse Button.
7. Press the Forward Lever to drive the screw. The tool will run
and shut off upon reaching the preset torque value.
8. When driving screws you need only to apply sufficient
downward pressure to keep the bit engaged in the head
of the fastener. If the bit “cams out” or seems to slip in the
head of the fastener, make sure you are using the proper
size bit for the fastener. Excessive downward pressure on
small screws at low torque settings can result in incorrect
torque and possibly strip the screws.
9. Press the Reverse Button to remove screws.
10. Do not press the Forward Lever and the Reverse Button at
the same time. This will damage the circuit.
11. The normal duty cycle of the tool is 800-1000 screws per
hour, 8 hours per day. Exceeding this will reduce the life of
the driver and can cause premature failure.
12. Do not use the tool to tighten wood screws.
13. Use the tool with a tool balancer and tool support to prevent
damage to the tool and reduce clutter on the work surface.

Caution:
• This electric screwdriver is designed for indoor use only. Do
not use it outdoors or in wet environments to prevent the
danger of electric shock.
• Pay attention to the voltage specification. Make sure the
Power Switch is in the OFF position when you plug in the
Driver Cord or the Power Supply.
• DO NOT operate the BTL-02B/03B/04B tools on any power
supply other than the BTL-1224. Using any other power supply
will damage the circuit.
Adjusting the Torque
Refer to the Torque Graph for the tool. The numbers along the
bottom represent the numbers on the Torque Scale found on the
tool. They do not represent any specific torque value. The 5 on
the tool does not indicate that the tool is set to 5 kgf.cm, 5 ozf.in
or 5 lbf.in. The numbers along the left side represent torque in
kgf.cm. The diagonal lines represent the different BTL tools. Find
your desired torque value along the left side. Look straight to the
right to see where a line drawn to the right, horizontally from
your torque value would cross the diagonal line representing the
tool you are using. From that point look straight down to find
where a line drawn vertically would cross the bottom line of the
graph. The point where your vertical line crosses the bottom will
be where you set the edge of the Torque Adjusting Nut on the
Torque scale on the tool.
Example
: You have a BTL-02B and you want it set to 0.9 kgf.cm.
Looking at the Torque Graph below you can see that you would
want to set the edge of the Torque Adjusting Nut to the mark
representing the #5 on the Torque Scale on the tool.
Torque Graph BTL Tools:
Using the Torque Graph to adjust the tool will provide an APPROXIMATE
torque setting. For more precise torque adjustment a Torque Meter
must be used.
Make sure you have a torque meter designed for power tools. Meters
designed for use with hand tools may not operate properly for use with
power tools.
Make sure the usable torque range of the meter exceeds the torque
output of the tool being tested. You also must insure the torque range
of the driver adapter being used also matches the torque output of the
tool being tested.
The Driver Adapter, sometimes called
a joint simulator, can use a spring, a
Bellville washer stack or elastomer
cylinder in place of the spring or
washer stack. Whichever version
of the Driver Adapter is used, its
purpose is to allow the tool to run for
a number of revolutions simulating
driving a fastener. The Driver Adapter
is placed between the screwdriver
and the torque meter.
