CONNECTING TOOL.
OPERATION
CLECOMATIC Models
No. 5 Series CLECOMATIC screwdrivers are automatic
shut-off tools. Accurate torque is achieved by setting the
CLECOMATIC clutch to the desired torque. The tool will
automatically shut off at this preset torque.
The RSATP model is designed to start when the trigger is
pulled and stops when the clutch reaches the set torque or
the trigger is released. Releasing the trigger will reset the tool
for the next cycle.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
The clutch is adjusted through the slot provided in the clutch
housing. The slot cover will have to be rotated to expose the
adjustment slot. Rotate the clutch until the hole in the
adjustment lock plate is visible. Insert a No. 1 Phillips
screwdriver and rotate in a clockwise direction to increase
the torque setting or a counterclockwise direction to de-
crease the setting.
If the clutch is adjusted over the maxi-
mum power output of the tool, the clutch
will not function and the tool will operate like a stall-type tool.
Also, if the tool is being operated at its upper torque limits, a
drop in air pressure could cause the clutch not to function
due to a loss of motor power and the tool will function like a
stall-type tool. If tool stalls, operator must resist stall torque
until throttle is released.
Operational check: Grip tool securely and be prepared to
counteract stall torque in case clutch is improperly adjusted.
AIR SUPPLY
The tool is designed to operate at 90 psig (6.2 bar) air
pressure. The air pressure should be checked at the tool's
air inlet while the tool is running.
The use of an automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is
highly recommended. This will supply the tool with clean,
lubricated air, keep it in sustained operation, and increase
tool life.
For maximum performance, use a 1/4" (6.5mm) I.D. air hose
up to 8 feet in length. If additional length is required, a 3/8"
(9.5mm) I.D. or larger hose should be connected to the 1/
4" (6.5mm) I.D. hose.
The air hose should be cleared of accumulated dirt and
moisture, then one-quarter (1/4) teaspoon (6.5cc) of 10W
machine oil should be poured into the tool's air inlet before
connecting the hose to the tool.
LUBRICATION
The in-line lubricator should be checked regularly and filled
with a good grade of 10W machine oil. In the event a line
lubricator is not used, tools should be disconnected from the
air supply several times daily and several drops of oil poured
into the tool's inlet bushing.
Application of the tool should govern how frequently it is
greased. It is recommended that the idler gears receive a
generous amount of NLGI 2-EP grease after every 40 hours
of operation. The clutch housing (left hand threads) and
clutch must be removed and the grease applied through the
hex in the spider.
CAUTION!
