Please refer to safe torques defined in this guide as shown in the figure below. If power tools are required, Clenergy recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock). If deadlock occurs and you need to cut fasteners, please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.
