OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The No. 8 Series Auto-Start screwdrivers are push-to-start,
torque control tools. Accurate torque is achieved by setting
the Auto-Start clutch to the desired torque. The tool has
reached the preset torque when the clutch rolls over.
Removing the tool from the work piece or releasing the trigger
will reset the tool for the next cycle.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Unscrew (left hand threads) the clutch housing, No. 869952,
from the gear case. Tighten the adjustment nut (clockwise)
to increase torque and loosen (counterclockwise) to de-
crease the torque output of the tool.
Note: If the clutch is adjusted over the maximum power
output of the tool, the clutch will not function and the tool will
operate like a stall-type tool. Also, if the tool is being
operated at its upper torque limits, a drop in air pressure
could cause the clutch not to function due to a loss of motor
power and the tool will function like a stall-type tool. The
operator must be prepared to counteract stall torque.
OPERATIONAL CHECK: Grip tool securely and be prepared
to counteract stall torque in case clutch is improperly
adjusted.
AIR SUPPLY
The tool is designed to operate at 90 psig air pressure. The
air pressure should be checked at the tool's air inlet while the
tool is running.
For maximum performance, use a 1/4" I.D. air hose up to 8'
in length. If additional length is required, a 3/8" I.D. or larger
hose should be connected to the 1/4" I.D. hose. The air hose
should be cleared of accumulated dirt and moisture.
LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-lubricator is recommended as it
increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.
The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled
with a good grade of 10W machine oil. Proper adjustment of
the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper
next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open for
approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set
when a very light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive
amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for
an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it
should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time
and again when returned to service. The tool should be stored
in a clean and dry environment.
Application of the tool should govern how frequently it is
greased. It is recommended that the idler gears receive a
generous amount of NLGI 2-EP grease after every 40 hours
of operation. The clutch housing (left hand threads) and
clutch must be removed and the grease applied through the
hex in the spider.
