6.1 Setting driving energy
Select the energy setting that suits the application. If no empirical values are available, always start with the
minimum driving energy.
1. Turn the adjusting knob to the driving-energy stage:
▶ Stage 1 → Lowest driving-energy stage
▶ Stage 2 → Medium driving-energy stage
▶ Stage 3 → Highest driving-energy stage
In principle, select the driving energy so that the sealing washer achieves a good seal and the
threaded stud achieves the correct driving depth.
2. Drive a test fastener.
