gauge so that this is achieved. The next step is to adjust
the torque setting on the machine, to disconnect the
drive to the bit.
Fit the TEK fixing to the drive socket
(the socket is
magnetic and should hold the fixing with ease).
Set the
torque
adjustment collar
to No. 8
(the settings range
from 1 = soft to 18 = hard).
Confirm that the Forward
Reverse selector is set to forward.
Offer the machine up to the work,
then
gently
squeeze the
ON/OFF
trigger to start the fixing
rotating, place enough pressure
on the machine
to
allow the bit to stay in contact with the fixing
as it
enters the work.
The machine will drive the fixing until the torque setting
is reached, whereupon the bit will cease to rotate (the
motor will run and a fast ‘clicking’ sound will be heard).
Check the setting of the fixing and if the head is
embedded too far
into the work
or is sitting proud
of the work, adjust the torque setting.
To adjust the torque turn the
torque adjustment
collar clockwise to decrease
the setting
and anti-
clockwise to increase
(the higher the number the
greater the torque).
Once set you should not have to make any more
adjustments.
Whatever you are doing...
If the screw/fixing needs to be removed, set the torque
to No. 18 and select reverse.
Never push the machine beyond its design limits.
If it won’t do the job you want with reasonable ease,
change it for a more powerful model.
Regularly check that the air vents in the machine’s
body are clear.
If these become blocked with dust,
clean them out using a soft brush before continuing,
taking care not to push dirt into the drill body.
Check the condition of the drive bit at regular intervals
and replace if worn or damaged.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe
from thieves.
Remove drive bit and give the machine a final
clean then, neatly coil the flex and place in the
carrying case ready for return to your local HSS
Hire Shop.
