8. Tool Operation 8.1 Charging the Battery WARNING: before the first use, ensure that the battery charger voltage is consistent with the mains power supply voltage. The battery should be fully charged before use. See “9. Battery and Battery Charger” on p. 41. 8.2 Installation and Removal of Lithium Battery See “9.
8.4 Installation of Reaction Bar WARNING: Remove the battery before installing the reaction arm. Caution is required. Failure to exercise caution and correct operating technique can result in serious personal injury, loss of limb, or death. AcraDyne® XT Tools deliver high amounts of torque to an application. As is the nature with all tool systems that function in this manner, high amounts of torque reaction will occur.
Figure 1 – Safe reaction window 8.4.2 Sockets Only Impact Grade, industrial sockets should be used with AcraDyne® XT Series Nutrunners. Mechanic-grade chrome sockets are not to be used as they do not have sufficient structural strength required to deliver the higher torque loads that an AcraDyne®...
8.4.4 Installation Procedure Operators MUST ensure that no hands, body parts, or other non- sufficiently structural elements are between the reaction bar and reactive point when positioning the reaction bar. Care MUST be taken to avoid tool start while positioning the reaction bar. Failure to practice safe reaction bar handling can result in SEVERE injury to person or damage to tool/ application.
8.5 Starting the Tool WARNING: Always keep hands clear of the reaction arm when the tool is in use or serious injury could result. To operate the tool: 1. Select the desired operating mode: torque mode, gear mode, preset mode, preset gear, or angle mode. 2.
8.6 Fwd / Rev / Lock Switch On some models, the Fwd/Rev switch at the top of the tool handle also is capable of locking the trigger so that it cannot be pressed. When the Fwd/Rev/Lock switch is pressed in from the left side, the tool will rotate counterclockwise.
9. Battery and Battery Charger The XT series may be provided with a charger or one may be sourced locally. This charger can charge only the battery specific to the tool. The charger can not be used with other batteries. Incorrect battery usage could cause serious damage to the equipment and to the operator.
9.2 Battery Charger Caution! Ensure the charger voltage matches the voltage of the mains power supply before using it for the first time. Ensure that the air slots are free. The temperature range during charging is 0˚C to +50˚C (+32˚F to +120˚F) 9.2.1.
9.2.3. Charging Failure The charger will detect the following charging failures and stop the battery from charging. 1. When the red warning indicator light is on continuously, the temperature is too high or too low and the battery is not charging. When the battery temperature is between 0˚C to +50˚C (+32˚F to +120˚F), the charging process will start automatically.
10. Troubleshooting The following table lists some faults and some, but no all of their possible solutions. If other faults are encountered, please contact the distributor for repair. Attention! In case of any fault, stop using the tool immediately! Fault Possible cause Solution 1.
