If you have ordered a complete tool the clutch will be set for the specified insert.
When purchased as a spare part, the clutch is supplied unset, part number 08551-00380.
Correct clutch setting is necessary to ensure optimum deformation of the insert. If the deformation is insufficient (clutch torque too low)
the insert will rotate in the application. If the deformation is excessive (clutch torque too high), thread distortion will occur and extensive
wear on the drivescrew may lead to fracture.

The air supply to the tool must be disconnected when adjusting the torque of the clutch
Slide round the cover of the clutch housing (item 63 page 15) until you can see the serrations of the adjustment nut of the clutch

supplied with the tool, turn the adjustment nut clockwise to decrease the torque or anti-clockwise to
increase the torque.
Turn the key one full turn at a time and test the tool having rotated the clutch housing cover back in place. Repeat as required.
After dismantling the clutch, we suggest that you set the torque to its minimum by turning the key fully clockwise then adjust by turning
the key anti-clockwise two turns at a time until the correct torque is acheived.
