Operating the Tool
1. Attach power tool cable to the EF screwdriver and the transformer. Make sure notch in plug lines up with the notch on
the socket. Tighten knurled ground ring.
2. Plug in power cord to the back of the transformer and power outlet. Flip power switch to “ON” position located on the back
of transformer.
3. Select a bit. Retract the bit collar. Insert the bit and release the retracted collar. To avoid damaging fasteners, make sure
the proper bit is suitable for the head of the fastener.
4. The torque limit is determined by the tension of the coil spring housed in the torque adjustment nut. The tighter the
coil spring is wound the higher the torque limit is raised. See Torque Charts on page 3 to determine the appropriate
torque adjustment setting.
5. Rotate the torque adjustment nut to set the torque limit. Turn clockwise to increase torque and counter clockwise to
decrease torque. The scale adjacent to the Torque Adjustment Nut is a reference guide. The torque output from the
driver can change depending on various fastening factors like friction, type of joint, and the type material being used
like a washer. Verify torque setting with a torque testing system.
6. Turn driver on and check for proper rotation. FOR-clockwise, REV-counterclockwise.
7. To apply torque, squeeze the lever (Push-to-Start models - place light downward pressure on the nose of the driver).
The driver will automatically stop when the preset torque has been reached.
8. To remove the screw, turn the FOR/REV switch to REV position.
CARE
1. The EF-Series screwdrivers are a precision torque control instrument and should be handled with care at all times.
2. Only use the transformers listed in the Mountz catalog for appropriate EF driver model (If you have any questions
regarding the appropriate transformer set-up, contact Mountz Customer Service Department).
3. Operate under safe conditions. Do not place in operation where such objects as hair, strings, clothing, etc. can become
tangled in the rotating bit.
4. Keep away from moisture. Never use in high humid, moist or damp environment.
HOW TO REPLACE THE CARBON BRUSH
WARNING: When replacing the carbon brushes, detach the power tool cable from the EF screwdriver or unplug the
transformer from the power outlet.
1. The carbon brush piece is 1/3" long when new. Change the pair when they are worn to about half the original length.
2. Insert a flat tip screwdriver into the slot in the carbon brush cap and unscrew the cap.
3. Replace the worn brushes with new pair. The contact surface of the brush is concave. Insert the brush so that the concave
end properly aligns with rounded surface of motor comutator.

Torque Reference Charts
These charts are meant to be used as guidelines for setting the torque on the EF-Series electric screwdrivers. The drivers
have a torque scale on the torque adjustment nut showing reference numbers. These numbers determine the approximate
torque setting. Refer to the charts to determine the reference number setting for your torque requirement.
How to Read the Torque Charts
Torque ranges (lbf.in) approximate tightening torque, operated with no load at maximum speed. Verify torque setting with a
torque testing system.

Maintenance Intervals:
The number of cycle shown on the table below should be used as a guideline for effective maintenance in order to reduce
unexpected down time. Maintenance intervals may be determined by the several approaches: number of cycles in use,
number of hours in use, type of joint, torque and calender time. All these factors should be considered for the best
preventative maintenance. The following inspection and replacement intervals will vary depending on tightening load and
cycle-on time.

2. Motor 1,000,000 cycle 2,000,000 cycle

6. Cable 400,000 cycle 1,000,000 cycle
Testing Power Tools:
1. Application Method: Use a torque tester in “Peak Mode” with a rotary torque sensor between the power tool and the
actual fastening joint application. This is the best way to test since youare using the actual joint as the test station. You
will see the actual torque applied to the fastener. Caution: Variances in tool performance may occur do to the addition of
the rotary torque sensor.
2. Simulated Method: Always use a quality joint rate simulator (run down adapter) with a torque tester when testing power
tools in a simulated application. Use Joint rate and Breakaway methods
to obtain most accurate torque readings in a simulated rundown.
