CHAPTER 1 - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SCOPE
This tool has been designed to assemble and disassemble screws in wood, metal and plastic materials. No other use will be
permitted. For professional use only.
2 - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
General safety instructions are collected in the 6159930690 safety booklet.
Specific instructions are given below.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
3 - PERSONAL SAFETY
3.1 - Earthing connection
3.2 - Differential circuit-breaker
Always use a differential circuit breaker to protect the operator from electric shock. A differential circuit breaker in the
power supply to the tool detects any insulation defect between the phases of the network and the earth and immediately cuts off
the power supply to the tool.
3.3 - Power supply
Always use the cord supplied with the tool to connect to the mains power supply only. Do not modify the cord or use it for
other purposes. Use only genuine CP replacement parts. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock.
4 - TOOL USE HAZARDS
The selection of the tool takes account of the operating conditions as stated by the user, who shall not exceed the operating limits
as specified by the manufacturer at the time of the selection (see "Max. duty cycle" file on the CDRom supplied).
Any excessive internal temperature of the tool electric motor above 60°C is detected and stops the tool. It can start again only if
the temperature decreases to under 50°C.
Although our cables are designed to work under drastic conditions, we recommend that you check the following points for a
longer service life:
• bending radii should not be lower than 10 times the cable diameter,
• friction with the outer sheath should be restricted,
• any direct pull on the cable should be avoided.
5 - TOOL CARE AND SERVICE
Only experienced and qualified personnel (authorized electricians) are entitled to open and to have access to the inside of
the tool. If in doubt, return the tool to a CP-authorized service centre (contact your local CP Sales for details).
Disconnect from power supply and wait one minute before commencing service operations. Failure to wait one minute may
result in electric shock from undischarged capacitors.
Beware hot components. There is a risk of burning by internal components which can reach 75°C (170°F). Allow to cool before
handling.
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or working
near this tool must read and understand the safety instructions before performing any such task. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING: this power tool must be earthed.

CHAPTER 2 - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The EAP-TFlex tool is an electric fastening tool directly supplied by mains. It is fitted with a torque transducer for high-precision
torque control. The main regulation parameter is the torque, which can be changed using the display and the 3 programming keys.
There are several options:
1 - MAINS SUPPLY
There are 2 types of tools:
• one tool which works with 230 VAC mains voltage, ± 8%, 50/60Hz
• one tool which works with 115 VAC mains voltage, ± 8%, 50/60Hz
Although the peak power can reach 2 kW during the final speed phase, it is recommended to adjust the power circuits according
to the maximum average power.
The average power input depends on the tool type, the assembly type and the tightening rate. However, for heat dissipation
reasons, the maximum average power should not exceed 0.3 kW.
2 - FEATURES
Values measured in individual work places may be higher than the declared values. The actual exposure values and risk of harm
experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user works, the workstation design, as well as upon
the exposure time and the physical condition of the user.
We, CP, cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure,
in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.
EAP2-65-TF* screwing with a torque value from 15 to 65 Nm ±10%
EAP2-30-TF* screwing with a torque value from 6 to 30 Nm ±10%
TF for TFlex; * = 1 for 115 VAC, 2 for 230 VAC
Protection level IP40 These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in
compliance with the stated standards and are not adequate for use
in risk assessments.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
3 - OPERATING TEMPERATURE
Considering its technology, the temperature of the tool naturally increases during tightening cycles. Best tightening rates are
reached with an ambient temperature of 20°C. The performance of the tool is decreased by approximately 50% for an ambient
temperature of 40°C. The maximum operating temperature is 45°C.
For further information, refer to "Max duty cycle" file on documentation CD-ROM.
4 - DESCRIPTION
4.1 - Report LEDs
The operator is informed at a glance of the tightening results through report LEDs. They can have three colours (green, yellow and
red) and are located on the upper part of the tool and on both sides of the tool. They are off during the tightening and turn on after
the tightening.

CHAPTER 3 - START-UP
1 - ON RECEIVING THE TOOL
Check that the following items are included in the kit supplied with the tool:
• the certificate of conformity,
• the safety instructions,
• the CDROM,
• the operator's manual.
On delivery, a separate kit can be provided according to the country of destination. The kit includes the following items:
•themainscord.
2 - INSTALLATION
Install the necessary accessories:
• rotating suspension device
• double safety device
•…
Make sure that the operating voltage specified on the tool corresponds to the voltage of the electric network.
Make sure that the protection devices of the line are appropriate to the tool and that the safety instructions are respected.
The tool is directly connected to the mains. No other connection is required.
Switch the tool on.
To switch the tool on, you must always make the electric connections in the following order:
- connect the mains cord to the tool,
- then connect the mains plug to the electric network.
Similarly, when switching the tool off, you must always:
- disconnect the mains plug from the electric network,
- then disconnect the mains cord from the tool.
Adjust the tool in Easy Programming Mode (quick adjustment):
• set the torque with or ,
• check and validate the adjustment (see “PROGRAMMING”, page 8).
The tool is ready to operate.
Never connect the mains cord to the tool or disconnect the mains cord from the tool, while the mains cord is
connected to the electric network.
The access code is inactivated from factory, by default. If you should change it, using the Advanced Programming
Mode, do memorize or note your code.

CHAPTER 4 - PROGRAMMING
There are 2 ways to program the tool: the Easy Programming mode and the Advanced Programming mode. The Easy
Programming mode allows to change the torque. In the Advanced Programming mode, all parameters can be changed: the torque
preset, the result recording selector, the joint stiffness, the access code and the unit. The Advanced Programming mode also
allows for a calibration.
1 - EASY PROGRAMMING MODE
The torque can be changed in the Easy Programming mode.
By default, if no key is pressed during 60 s, the tool switches back into tightening mode without saving the parameters.
2 - ADVANCED PROGRAMMING MODE
The Advanced Programming mode can be used to change the preset torques, to record the data, to change the joint stiffness, to
activate an access code, to change the unit and to calibrate the tool. It allows for escaping without any change.
