Tool Temperature
W A R N I N G
POTENTIAL BURN HAZARD
Fixtured tools have higher operating temperatures and do not have additional thermal protection.
To Avoid Injury:
Wear thermal protective gloves when handling fixtured tools.
Stanley electric tools are thermally protected to prevent damage due to overheating. The thermal
protection does not allow the tool to operate if the tool temperature rises abnormally – the thermal
protector resets automatically when the tool cools down.
Controller parameter settings can have a significant effect on tool operating temperatures.
3.5.4
Tool Status Lights
Handheld tools from
STANLEY ASSEMBLY TECHNOLOGIES
have three (green, yellow, and red)
status lights. The status light mirror or copy the status lights on the controller or control panel.
Green
Tightened to
specified limits
The tightening cycle meets all of the specified parameters.
Yellow
Low torque or angle
The tightening cycle was rejected for not achieving either
low torque or low angle.
Red
High torque or angle
The tightening cycle was rejected for exceeding either high
torque or high angle.
All lights
Reverse
The next time the start trigger is engaged the tool will
remove the fastener.
3.5.5
Tool Audible Device
The tool also has an audible device designed to be operator aid. The Theta controller pulses the
audible device when the tool is in the Reverse direction. There is no audible indication of OK or
NOK tightening cycles.

EXCESSIVE TORQUE CONDITION
To Avoid Injury:
•
Only trained and qualified personnel should program controllers.
•
Never set control limits above the maximum rating of the tool.
•
Setting control limits above the maximum rating of the tool can cause high reaction torque.
•
Always test for proper tool operation after programming the controller.
The Theta controller can be setup to change tightening Jobs from the tool.

PINCH POINT AT THE EXPOSED GEARS OR TEETH
To Avoid Injury:
Keep body parts and clothing away from the exposed gear sockets. Dress properly. Do not wear
loose-fitted clothing or jewelry.
Exposed gear socket tools are designed to fit into tight spaces where other tools do not fit. These
tools have exposed gears or ratchet teeth.
