3. Configuració
Before using the Laser 3568 Alldrive Socket & Bit Set, ensure you have identified the correct socket or bit for your application. Proper selection prevents damage to both the fastener and the tool.
- Identify Fastener Type: Determine the type of fastener you are working with (e.g., Hex, Torx, Spline, Phillips, Pozidriv, Metric, AF, Whitworth, BA, BSF).
- Select Correct Socket/Bit: Choose the Alldrive socket or bit that matches the fastener size and type. Refer to the compatibility chart in Section 2.4 if unsure.
- Attach to Ratchet or Handle:
- For sockets: Firmly push the selected socket onto the square drive of the 72 teeth ratchet or the universal joint. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- For bits: Insert the desired bit into the 100 mm bit adaptor. Then, attach the bit adaptor to the square drive of the ratchet or spinner handle.
- Utilitza accessoris:
- Use the 100 mm extension bar for reaching fasteners in confined spaces. Attach it between the ratchet/spinner handle and the socket/bit adaptor.
- The universal joint allows for angled access to fasteners. Attach it between the ratchet/extension and the socket.
- The spinner handle is ideal for quick, low-torque fastening or loosening once a fastener is broken free.
4. Instruccions de funcionament
Using the Laser 3568 Alldrive Socket & Bit Set effectively requires proper technique to ensure safety and prevent damage to tools or fasteners.
- Assegureu la fixació: Place the selected socket or bit firmly onto the head of the fastener, ensuring a snug fit. Avoid using ill-fitting tools, as this can strip the fastener head.
- Ratchet Direction: For the 72 teeth ratchet, locate the directional switch on the head. Flip the switch to the desired direction for tightening (clockwise) or loosening (counter-clockwise).
- Aplicar força: Apply steady, even pressure to the handle of the ratchet or spinner handle. For stubborn fasteners, apply gradual, increasing force. Avoid sudden jerking motions.
- Apretament: Turn the ratchet clockwise until the fastener is adequately tightened. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the fastener or the material it's secured to.
- Aflojament: Turn the ratchet counter-clockwise to loosen the fastener. Once the fastener is loose, the spinner handle can be used for faster removal.
