II. Installment
1. Preparation
1. Connect the screw delivery hose, air hose and signal cable to the feeder unit
Take a balance of the driver unit for easier fastening. While taking balance, make sure that the signal cable and
air hose do not contact with hook or balancer wire. Care should be taken to prevent excessive bending or
twisting of hoses and cables, since this can cause damage or disconnection.
Connect the screw delivery hose between the feeder and the driver as soon as possible. Make sure that it is not
excessively bent or twisted after installation.

2. Connect feeder unit to compressed air source with an air hose supplied.
Air pressure for the feeder unit is 4-5 kg/cm2.

3. Since this unit has no provisions for adjusting air pressure, pressure must be controlled at the
source. ( PULLUPFIRST,AND ROTATE )

4. Screw delivery timer check.
Check screw delivery timer setting on the front of the feeder unit.
Standard operation setting is between 0 to1.
5. Connect power cord to a single-phaseAC-220 wall outlet.

2. Tryout
1. Open the hopper and cover and load hopper with a small quantity of screw.
Load Screws Max Volume
2. Turn power switch on.
The power and motor pilot lamps will light, the feeding track will start reciprocating and screw will
be fed into the chute. Once the chute is filled, the rotary drum automatically stops and the motor
pilot lamp will go off.
Turn Power Switch
3. While holding the driver unit, telescope the Y-pipe manually.
One cycle will send a signal to the feeder from the driver unit and the escapement will release one
screw from the chute for delivery to the driver’s tip by compressed air. First cycle has a 3~5
seconds delay of feeding.
Never point the driver tip toward a person since a screw might shot out accidentally, causing
possible injury.

4. Confirmation of driver bit rotation.
The driver should rotate when the bit is pressed against a flat surface while the Y-pipe is
compressed. Check for any abnormal sounds during rotation.
The driver rotates clockwise only.
Check Screw Feeding Check Rotating
5. Tighten torque check
Fit the driver tip over the hole of screw to be tightened a perform test fastening.
The screw is driven into the hole when the driver bit is pressed against the screw.
Check that the screw is fastened to the specified torque.
If not, adjust fastening torque. (See item 8 “Tightening torque adjustment” on page 14 for
adjustment).
Make sure that the driver is vertical to the work surface and the delivery hose is free of twists
and bent.
Lift the driver only after the whirring noise indicating clutch release is heard.
After completing installation and test operation, switch power off once before beginning normal
operation.

3. Normal Operation
1. After all preparatory steps have been competed, load screw into the hopper.
2. Turn power switch on.
1. Load Screws 2. Turn Power Switch
3. Hold the driver unit and press the Y-pipe manually to confirm that a screw is seen at the tip of the
driver at the first time.
4. Align the screw at the driver tip vertically with the screw hole of the work-piece.
5. When the driver bit is pressed against the screw, the screw will be tightened.
6. Then, repeat steps 4 and 5 to tighten subsequent screw.

4. After Operation
1. Lubrication
Loosen the needle valve of the oiler while idling the driver.After confirming oil flow of 3 to 5 drops
through the window, retighten the needle valve. Then, idle the driver unit alone for one or two
minutes to allow oil to circulate.
2. Chute cleaning
With a brush, remove dust and metal fragments from sliding surface of chute. Remove any grease
with a cloth soaked in alcohol.
Be sure power switch is turned off. Do not scratch or bruise the chute-sliding surface during
cleaning.
3. Power
Turn power switch off after completing operations.
5. Maintenance
1. Cleaning hopper interior
Clean the hopper interior once a week. Remove any remaining screw and dust. If the interior is
extremely dirty, wipe thoroughly with a clean
2. Oiler oil level check
Check that oil level is between the top and bottom marks.
Supply oil if oil is running low.

3. Draining water from filter Water accumulated in the filter should be drained by loosening the drain
cock. Draining water
III.Adjustment and Replacement
1. Air Pressure Adjustment
Air pressure supply to feeder unit must be within 4-5 kg /cm2.

2. Screw Deliver time Adjustment
Screw delivery time is the time for the screw to pass through the screw delivery hose to the driver
jaw.Adjust screw delivery time by setting the timer on front of the feeder. 0 on the dial indicates the
shortest time (approx. 0.1 sec.) and 10 indicates the maximum time (approx. 2 sec.) Standard
operation setting is 1 to 2.
If the time is too short, screw may sometimes not be delivered.
The screw delivery time will vary depending upon the type of screw and length of screw delivery
hose. Determine the most appropriate level by trial-and-error. Confirm that screws are delivered to
the driver jaw.

3. Screw Deliver air Volume Adjustment
If satisfactory screw delivery cannot be obtained by time adjustments, the screw delivery air volume
must be reset by turning the switch rod adjustment screw on right of the feeder escapement. The
volume of air supplied to screw delivery hose increases when the lock nut is loosened and the
switch rod adjustment screw is turned counterclockwise. This operation also increases screw
delivery speed. Turn screw clockwise to decrease air volume and slow delivery.
After adjustment, tighten the nut securely.

4. Torque Adjustment
To release the nut.
Re-assembly the front part.
Turn the bit to expose a hose in which you'll insert a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
Rotate the hand screwdriver clockwise to increase
torque and counter clockwise to decrease torque.
REMEMBER:
The numbers 1, 2, 3 on the housing do not indicate actual torque. They simply indicate
whether the tool is towards the high, low or middle of its range.

5. Bit Replacement
To release the nut.
Re-assembly the front part.
Use a negative driver and push the ring forward.
Keep pushing the ring forward and pull the bit out.
And, still keep pushing the ring forward and insert
the new bit.
Lubricate and assembly it.
