SAFETY – GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS Symbol Meaning The lightening flash is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation mark is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the manual.
Personal Safety Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
These tools MUST NOT be used until a suitable reaction bar has been fitted. Norbar define the reaction bar as ‘interchangeable equipment’ under the European directive 2006/42/EC on Machinery Safety. If applicable a new reaction bar...
INTRODUCTION ® The EvoTorque is an electronic torque tool designed for applying torque to threaded fasteners. There are models to cover torque capacities of 1000 N∙m to 6000 N∙m. The unique ‘Intelligent Joint Sensing’ technology will accurately tighten to the correct torque without the risk of excess overshoot or undershoot that is common in other electric tools.

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. WARNING: ALLOW THE TOOL TO EQUALISE TO THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE / HUMIDITY BEFORE SWITCHING ON. WIPE OFF ANY MOISTURE BEFORE USE.
Torque Reaction The reaction bar ensures all reaction forces are contained, so torque reaction is not passed back to the operator. Several reaction bar styles are available. Fit reaction bar as detailed below. Reaction Bar Type Fitting Instructions Cranked Reaction Bar (Standard) Fit reaction bar / plate over the drive square to engage Single Sided Reaction Plate (Option) reaction splines.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION BAR. WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL IT MUST BE SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO PREVENT UNEXPECTED RELEASE IN THE EVENT OF FASTENER OR COMPONENT FAILURE. Tightening Fit the tool with the correct size impact or high quality socket to suit fastener. TIP: For added safety it is recommended to secure the socket to the drive square.

For optimum performance and safety, regular tool maintenance is required. The user maintenance is limited to that stipulated in this section. Any other maintenance or repairs should be carried out by Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Maintenance intervals will depend on the tool usage and the environment in which it is being used.
Fit new screw. Tighten to 9 N·m (M5). TIP: If the drive square fails continually then seek advice from Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Product Disposal This symbol on the product indicates that it must not be disposed of in the general waste.
