Safety Safety Presentation of notes Warning notes are identified by a signal word and a pictogram: • The signal word describes the severity and the probability of the impending danger. • The pictogram describes the type of danger. Warning! Possible hazardous situation for the health of persons. If this warning is not observed, very serious injury may result.
Hold the 17BP tightly in the hand – be prepared for high short-term reaction torques. Do not carry the 17BP with the finger on the start button – prevent accidental operation. Do not open the battery. Contact with acid will cause injury.
The 17BP is intended to screw in and loosen threaded joints. The model with depth sensor (17BP…S) also allows you to screw in tapping screws. The 17BP should only communicate via the IrDA interface port of the tool holder (Order no. 935144) with the control unit TMEB-100 or a PC.
Protect the 17BP and battery from moisture. Do not bring any electrically conducting objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails or screws in contact with the battery contacts. When storing the battery outside of the 17BP or battery charger, cover the battery contacts. Object...
RS232. • Rundown data is sent to the TMEB-100 controller or a PC by placing the 17BP into the tool holder. Data is transmitted from the tool holder to the 17BP via the IrDA interface port (infrared).
