INTENDED USE AND GENERAL OPERATION
This tool is used to install skin clamps that temporarily hold components together. Skin clamps are often called by other names, such as "Cleco
clamps®", "Kwick-Loc®", "Wedgelok®", and sheet metal holders. To install skin clamps, place the nose piece of the tool over the outer body of skin
clamp. Engage the tool driver on the threaded 1/4" (6.4 mm) nut of the skin clamp. Pull the trigger and run the tool until it stalls. To remove the skin
clamp, follow the above procedure, but reverse the rotation of the tool.
REVERSE OPERATION
The spindle rotation is controlled by the slide on the top, rear of the tool.
Move the slide to the right for right hand rotation and to the left for left hand rotation. To ensure maximum performance, make sure the slide is in the full
left or right position.
AIR SUPPLY
The efficiency and life of this tool depend on the proper supply of clean, dry air at a maximum of 90 PSI. The use of an air line filter, pressure regulator,
and lubricator is recommended.
Before connecting to tools, blow out the air line to remove water and dirt that may have accumulated.
