7.4 Speed / Tightening torque
The speed and tightening torque are connected
directly. The lower the speed, the lower the tight-
ening torque.
The tightening torque is influenced in two ways:
1) Preselect maximum tightening torque.
You can select one of three tightening torque
settings by pressing the button (7). The maximum
tightening torques are listed in the table on page 2
(M , M , M
max.,I max.,II max.,III
Button (7) lights up briefly to indicate which setting
is selected. For example: if the button lights up
twice, this means that setting II is selected.
2) Stepless adjustment of the tightening torque:
The speed and tightening torque can be adjusted
steplessly by pressing the trigger (5) firmly or
lightly, thus adapting to working conditions.
Recommendation: determine the correct setting
by carrying out trial screwdriving.
7.5 Changing SSD... screwdriving bits
Inserting screwdriving bit: Slide locking sleeve
(3) forward and insert screwdriving bit as far as the
stop. Release locking sleeve (3).
Pull on the screwdriver bit to check that it is
correctly seated.
Removing screwdriving bit: Slide locking sleeve
(3) forward and remove screwdriving bit.
Only use screwdriving bits with such plug-in
ends:
The screwdriving bit used must match the
screw.
Damaged screwdriving bits must not be
used.
7.6 Changing SSW... screwdriving bits
Inserting screwdriving bit: Insert the socket all
the way into the square attachment (1).
Removing screwdriving bit: Pull the socket out of
the square attachment (1).
The screwdriving bit used must match the
screw.
).
Damaged screwdriving bits must not be
used.
8 Use
Mount the machine on the screw, ensuring it is
aligned straight.
The screwdriving process has two elements:
inserting the screw and
tightening the screw with the percussion
mechanism.
The tightening torque depends on the impact
duration.
With an impact duration of approx. 5 seconds, the
maximum tightening torque has been reached.
The torque curve depends on the type of applica-
tion:
With a hard screwdriving application (screw-
couplings in hard material such as metal),
maximum tightening torque is already reached
after a short impact duration (a).
With a soft screwdriving application (screw-
couplings in soft material such as wood), a longer
impact duration (b) is required.
Recommendation: determine the correct impact
duration by carrying out trial screwdriving.
Caution! With small screws, maximum torque
can be reached even below an impact duration of
0.5 seconds.
- This is why the duration of the screwdriving
process must be monitored exactly.
- Select a suitable maximum tightening torque on
button (7) (see chapter 7.4).
- Adjust the tightening torque by pressing firmly or
lightly on the trigger (5), ensuring that the screw
is not damaged or that the screw head does not
tear off.
