TIGHTENING TORQUE

The tightening torque depends on the duration of the impacting/tightening action. The largest tightening torque is achieved after approx. 6 to 10 Sec. impacting/tightening action.

The torque build-up depends on the following factors:

•Hardness of the bolts/nuts.

•Type of washer (disk washer, spring washer, seal).

•Hardness of the material to be joined.

•Lubricating effect at the surfaces of the junction.

This leads to the following application cases:

Hard case: The joining of metal to metal with a disk washer. The maximum torque is reached after a relative short impacting/ tightening action.

Medium case: The joining of metal to metal where spring ring washer, disk spring washer, stud bolts or bolts/nuts with conical seats are used.

Soft case: The joining of e.g. metal to wood or insulation material.

For middle or soft joining cases, the maximum tightening torque is less as for hard cases. Therefore, a longer impacting/tightening action is necessary to arrive at the maximum tightening torque.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS

This procedure shown in (Fig. 6) will enable you to fasten materials together with your tool without stripping, splitting or separating the material.

down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the tool to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.

First, clamp the pieces together and drill the first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.

Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the first or top piece of wood.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS

1.Drill 2/3 diameter and 2/3 of screw length for soft materials, full length for hard materials.

2. Drill same diameter as screw shank.

3. Countersink same diameter as screw head.

Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink the hole to make the screw flush with the surface. Then, simply apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw shank clearance hole in the first piece allows the screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.

RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS

Variable speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket set attachments. The technique is to start slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs

Screw

Apply a slight even pressure when driving screws.
