Handling

The DEPRAG MINIMAT-F-ULTRA screwdriver can be operated in conjunction
with the multi-function controls fc10 and pc10 only. The screwdriver will be held
as shown on picture "Connection of a DEPRAG MINIMAT-F-ULTRA screw-
driver". As soon as you push the bit slightly on to the screw, a start signal will be
provided to the function control unit, some air will be supplied to the screwdriver
and it will start running. After reaching the preset torque, the automatic clutch will
disengage and turn off the screwdriver. The screwdriver will be ready for the
next operation after lifting it off the screw. A faulty assembly will cause the
screwdriver to remain locked, until the failure is acknowledged on the fc 10 con-
trol.
Although the reaction torque you will notice is rather low due to the ergonomi-
cally shaped handle and the immediate effect of the torque-out clutch, we highly
recommend to use an additional torque support, if torque is higher than 5 Nm
(such as a linear stand or lateral handle as per brochure D 3340 E).
The operating direction of reversible screwdriver models can be reversed by ac-
tuating the reverse button, in order to loosen tightened screws. The reversible
screwdriver will also start operating by pushing it on to the screw. The clutch will
be locked in the reverse direction. An increased reaction torque may occur in the
case of screws that are hard to tighten (such as screws with defective thread).
Since in this case the clutch will not disengage when loosening the screw and
the control unit will identify this as a failure, make sure to acknowledge this "in-
correct assembly".
The screwdriver is equipped with a quick change chuck. After pulling the sleeve,
the bit may be removed or inserted.
Always disconnect the Screwdriver from air supply prior to changing bits, to
avoid the unintentional start of the Screwdriver, which may result in injuries.
Make sure to use perfect bits with DIN 3126 – E6,3 (1/4") external hexagon end
only.
ATTENTION:
Screwdriver will immediately start running once the bit is
pushed, and may cause severe injuries.
