Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this AcraDyne DC electric assembly tool, one of the lightest and fastest DC electric
assembly tools on the market. When used with the AcraDyne iEC tool controller, this tool will provide excellent
productivity, ergonomics, reliability and quality on a wide range of industrial assembly applications.
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable of
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock
f) It is not recommended to use AcraDyne controllers or
tools outside or to use an extension cord to connect
the controller to a power source.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
If the maximum duty cycle of the attached tool is
exceeded or the tool temperature exceeds 50° C., then
the operator should wear protective hand wear (gloves).
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do no wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) This product is designed to be used in combination
with the AcraDyne iEC DC tool controller for
intermittent hand-held or fixtured assembly processes.

Safety Information

1. Connect tool cable to the iEC controller and the tool:
AcraDyne recommends not exceeding 20m length of
cable. The tool cable has curved alignment tabs and slots
built into the connectors at each end to ensure proper
alignment and connection with the tool and controller.
Make sure that power is not turned on at the controller
before making any connections. Align the female connector
on the cable with the male connector on the tool and insert
the cable onto the tool, then slide the connector nut onto
the threads on the cable and turn clockwise until hand-tight.
Align the male connector tab on the other end of the tool
cable with the female slot on the controller and insert the
cable into the connector, then slide the metal outer cover
onto the connection threads on the controller and turn
clockwise until hand-tight.
2. Multifunction Button Operation:
The tool will flash all LED lights three times when power
is first turned on at the controller. After the controller
finishes initializing and displays a target toque value, the
multifunction button (MFB) is used to toggle the tool from
clockwise mode (FWD) to counter-clockwise operation mode
(REV). The MFB is the small button opposite the trigger.
The tool will initially start in clockwise mode and will have
no LED lights turned on. If the trigger is pressed, the tool
will turn on the blue LED meaning the tightening operation
is underway. Pressing the MFB will cause the tool to flash
yellow and red LED lights. Pressing the MFB again will switch
the tool back FWD mode and will indicate this with no LED
lights turned on.
AEF fixtured models are not equipped with a multifunction
button. Tool operation is handled by the IO of the Gen IV iEC
controller.
3. Start Trigger Operation:
To start the tool, depress the start trigger. Blue LED lights
will be displayed while tightening a bolt. The tool will stop
automatically when it senses its target torque value or if
no torque is sensed in a specified time period. After a cycle
is complete, the tool will display green LED lights for a
success, or red LED lights for failure to reach torque/angle.
AEF fixtured models are not equipped with a start trigger.
Tool operation is handled by the IO of the Gen IV iEC
controller.
