IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Risk of flying particles.
Over-torquing can cause breakage. An out of calibration screwdriver can cause
part or tool breakage. Broken hand tools, sockets or accessories can cause injury.
Excess force can cause crowfoot or flare nut screwdriver slippage.
Read this manual completely before using ELECTRONIC SCREWDRIVER.
To ensure accuracy, work must not move in angle mode.
For personal safety, and to avoid screwdriver damage, follow good
professional tool and fastener installation practices.
Periodic recalibration is necessary to maintain accuracy.
Wear safety goggles, user and bystanders.
Be sure all components, including all adaptors, extensions, drivers and sockets
are rated to match or exceed torque being applied.
Observe all equipment, system and manufacturer's warnings, cautions and
procedures when using this screwdriver.
Use correct size socket for fastener.
Do not use sockets showing wear or cracks.
Replace fasteners with rounded corners.
To avoid damaging screwdriver: Never use screwdriver with power off. Always
turn ON screwdriver so applied torque is being measured.
Do not press POWER while torque is applied or while screwdriver is in
motion.
Never use this screwdriver to break fasteners loose.
Check that screwdriver capacity matches or exceeds each application before
proceeding.
Verify calibration if dropped.
Verify calibration of screwdriver if you know or suspect its capacity has been
exceeded.
Always adjust your stance to prevent a possible fall should something give
while using screwdriver.
Do not attempt to recharge alkaline cells.
Store screwdriver in dry place.
Remove batteries when storing screwdriver for periods longer than 3 months.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard.
Electrical shock can cause injury. Metal in handle is not insulated.
Do not use on live electrical circuits.

Screwdriver Power On Sequence
Note: Do not turn on power to screwdriver while torque is applied, otherwise torque zero offset will be
incorrect and screwdriver will indicate a torque reading when torque is released. If this occurs,
re-zero screwdriver by momentarily pressing POWER button while screwdriver is on a stable
surface with no torque applied.
1. Turn On Screwdriver.
While holding screwdriver still, momentarily press POWER button. Snap-on logo will be
displayed followed by torque and angle re-zeroing screens (if angle mode has been
previously selected). The target TORQUE or ANGLE screen will now be displayed depending
on previous measurement mode selected.
Note: By simultaneously pressing the ENTER and UNITS buttons, the keypad can be locked to prevent
inadvertent button presses while griping the screwdriver body. The Lock Icon is displayed when
the keypad is locked. To unlock the keypad, press the ENTER –UNITS –ENTER buttons in
sequence.
Note: If the keypad was locked when powered down, on power up, the keypad will remain locked and
will require the keypad unlock button sequence of ENTER –UNITS –ENTER to become functional
again.
PROGRESS LIGHTS
Yellow –½ second on/off flashing
indicates 40% of target torque or

2. Select Measurement Mode.
Toggle between target TORQUE and ANGLE screens by repeatedly pressing ENTER button.
Note: If screwdriver is powered up in torque only measurement mode, angle is not zeroed until keypad
is unlocked and mode is changed to angle measurement mode. The Angle Zero Required screen
will be displayed:
Angle zeroing begins automatically after 2 seconds. Screwdriver should be placed on a stable
surface with no torque applied.
Note: Pressing ENTER button while angle is zeroing will abort zeroing function to allow user to select
another measurement mode.
Torque Mode
1. Set Target.
Use UP/DOWN buttons to change TORQUE target value.
2. Select Units of Measure.
Repeatedly press UNITS button while on target TORQUE screen until desired units are
displayed.
3. Apply TORQUE.
Grasp center of handle and slowly apply torque to fastener until progress lights display green
and a ½ second audible alert and handle vibration alerts you to stop.
4. Release TORQUE.
Note peak TORQUE reading flashing on LCD display for 5 seconds. Pressing BACKLIGHT
button while peak torque is flashing will continue to display value until button is released.
Momentarily pressing UP/DOWN , ENTER or UNITS button will immediately return to target
TORQUE screen. Reapplying TORQUE will immediately start another TORQUE measurement
cycle.
5. Recall Peak TORQUE Reading
To recall last peak TORQUE measurement, press and hold BACKLIGHT button for
approximately 3 seconds. Peak TORQUE will flash for 5 seconds.
Angle Mode
Note: When angle measurement mode is selected for first time following a power on, "ANGLE ZERO
REQUIRED" message is displayed. After two seconds angle zero process begins and screwdriver
must be placed on a stable surface. If ENTER button is pressed before two seconds, screen will
change to torque only mode, angle zero process is skipped.
1. Set target.
Use UP/DOWN buttons to change target ANGLE value.
2. Apply Torque and Rotate Screwdriver.
Grasp center of handle and slowly apply torque to fastener and rotate screwdriver at a
moderate consistent speed until progress lights display green and a ½ second audible alert
and handle vibration alerts you to stop.
3. Release torque.
Note alternating peak TORQUE and ANGLE readings flashing on LCD display for 5 seconds.
Pressing BACKLIGHT button while peak values are flashing will continue to display values
until button is released. Momentarily pressing UP/DOWN , ENTER or UNITS button will
immediately return to target ANGLE screen. Reapplying torque (ratcheting) before target
screen is displayed will continue ANGLE accumulation as screwdriver is rotated.
4. Recall Peak ANGLE Reading
To recall last peak ANGLE measurement, press and hold BACKLIGHT button for
approximately 3 seconds. Peak TORQUE and ANGLE will be displayed alternately for 5
seconds.
