General Safety Instructions

Designated Use
A pneumatic assembly tool is to be used only for tightening
of threaded joints or running down fasteners using industrial
power tool type drive sockets or bits.
Never use hand tool type sockets or bits with
an industrial power tool. Hand tool sockets or
bits can break resulting in a hazard of flying
pieces.
Do not modify the tool, any guard, or accessory unless
approved in writing by Apex Tool Group, LLC. All safety
devices must be properly installed and maintained in good
working order.
Any abuse or misuse of this tool, drive
sockets, bits, or accessories can be extremely
dangerous. We recommend the use of Apex®
brand drive sockets and bits manufactured by
Apex Tool Group, LLC.
Putting into service
Only fully trained personnel should install, adjust, operate,
or repair this tool.
Fastener Tool Inspection
Closely inspect the drive socket or bit before
installation and use. Replace a worn or
damaged drive socket or bit immediately to
prevent breakage during use.
Make certain the drive socket or bit is properly
attached before operating the tool.
Personal protective equipment
Exercise caution, pay attention to what
you are doing and act reasonably at all
times when working with a pneumatic tool.
Never use a pneumatic tool while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One moment of inattentiveness in the use of
a pneumatic tool can cause serious injuries.
Risk of injury by being wound up in and caught by machinery:
When working with rotating parts, it is
prohibited to wear gloves.
→ Wear close fitting clothing.
→ If necessary, wear a hair net.
Risk of injury due to ejected components:
Wear protective goggles.

Risk of injury due to torque reaction:
Right angle stall type assembly tools, clutch
tools with shut-off adjusted over the maximum
power output of the tool, or a drop in air
pressure can cause a torque reaction and
potential injury to the operator's hands.
When operating right angle assembly tools, make sure the
throttle is positioned relative to the angle head so that the
throttle will not become wedged against an adjacent object
in the "ON" position due to torque reaction.
The angle head may be repositioned with respect to the
throttle lever to accommodate the proper location for the
application.
If the tool is to be reversed, locate the throttle lever in a
neutral position to prevent entrapment in either direction.
Spindle Rotation
Description:
The 24RAS and 34RAS series are stall type nutrunners. The
tool runs down the fastener until the torque resistance in the
fastener causes the tool to stall. When the tool stalls, the
throttle is released by the operator and the tool is removed
from the assembly application. Stall type tools can produce
accurate torques, especially on applications with varying
torque rates; however, their torque output can be easily
influenced by the operator and by fluctuations in air line
pressure. Operators should be instructed to allow the tool
to stall before releasing the throttle and to avoid pulling or
wrenching the tool after it stalls.
The 24RAA and 34RAA series nutrunners are equipped with
an adjustable Clecomatice
instant the clutch reaches its adjustable preset torque. This
action provides an accurate method of controlling torque
without sacrificing tool speed.
Clutch Torque Adjustment
Turn off the air supply to the tool before adjusting the clutch.
Rotate the adjustment cover on the clutch to expose the
access opening. Insert the clutch adjustment tool (204963)
through the opening and engage the adjustment nut.
Rotate the adjustment tool clockwise to increase torque or
counterclockwise to decrease torque. Note: For best results,
start from the minimum torque and adjust in the maximum
direction until the desired torque setting is achieved.
