5.2.6 Worklights

There are two worklights located above the MFB, below the motor on pistol type tools, but is opposite the start
trigger switch on standard tools. The worklights are activated when the trigger switch is depressed, and will
automatically turn off after the programmed amount of seconds after the trigger switch is released. If the trigger
switch remains depressed, the worklights will remain on.
!
NOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.

5.2.7 Program Selection

The QPM Expert Alpha controller has various means of changing the selected Job/Task such as inputs or barcode
scans of product. See Section "6.12 Assignable Input and Output Functions" on page 120 to understand how
to select a Job/Task.

5.2.8 Directional Control

UNEXPECTED REACTION FORCES
To Avoid Injury:
• Be prepared – when a tool operates in reverse, the tool's torque reaction is opposite to the reaction
produced when the tool operates in forward direction.
• The tool can have a higher initial reaction force when loosening a fastener.
• Always stop the tool before changing direction of spindle rotation.
Clockwise is the normal direction for securing a fastener, however a fastener can have left hand threads which
requires the tool's output to turn counter-clockwise to secure the fastener. The direction of rotation to secure a
fastener is programmed in the controller.
If a reverse, or disassembly, operation is required the operator must press the MFB to change the tool's mode to
reverse. Then the start trigger switch is pressed to run the tool in reverse. While the tool is in reverse mode, the
blue disassembly ready light [1] will illuminate if the tool is ready to run, all the tool's display status lights [3] and
[6] will flash and the tool's noise maker will emit a tone that alternates between on and off.
To return the direction of rotation to forward, or assembly, the operator must press the MFB again. The blue
assembly ready light [2] will illuminate if the tool is ready to run, the tool's status lights will no longer flash and
the alternating tone will stop.

5.2.9 Tool Temperature

STANLEY tools are thermally protected to prevent overheating. Temperature is sensed inside the tool and the value
is reported to the controller. The thermal protection does not allow the tool to operate if the tool temperature
rises abnormally – the thermal protector resets automatically when the tool cools down. The maximum tool
temperature before damage occurs is 150°C.
EN60745-1 Hand-Held Motor-Operated Electric Tools - Safety is the most applicable standard to the tools. It
Instruction Manual
Pressing the button causes the selected Job to be reset. This means that the fastener
count is reset and the tool, if disabled due to Error Proofing requirements, re-enables.
This function, when selected, causes the tool to disable after a NOK Fastening cycle. The
Reject Tone, when enabled, will sound. Pressing the button re-enables the tool in the
Reverse direction and indicates that the operator acknowledges the rejected Fastening
cycle and wishes to repair it. The tool switches to the forward direction after the controller
detects a fastener has been removed.
