Power Supplies
The Brushless Driver must be operated together with a Power Pack.
Powering the Brushless Driver with the Hios T-45BL and the T-70BL Power Pack will insure operation of the driver at its full capacity.

Cautions to Observe When Using
1. In push-to-start mode, the driver will begin turning in response to only a slight pressure. Take care that it is under complete control when in push-to-start mode.
2. The driver can be damaged by accidental falls or impacts. 3. Take care to avoid exposing the driver to oil based
– 5 –

substances.
4. The driver does not require lubrication and should not be lubricated.

Pre-operating Preparations
1. Check that the proper Power Pack is being used with the driver.
2. Connect the Power Pack to plug AC100 to 240 V .
3. Turn the power switch on, check to see that the power switch light of the Power Pack goes on, then switch the power off. If the light didn’t go on, replace the fuse with the spare provided with the pack, referring to the Power Pack specifications.
4. If you want to use as “Push start”, follow the instructions “5” below.
5. To operate in Push-to-start Mode.

BL-3000 Use tweezers to switch lever start/ push start.

To convert the starting mechanism from lever-start to push-to-start, remove the hex head screw and switch lever, turn the switch lever upside-down and use the hex head screw to re-fasten the switch lever.
6. Connect the driver power cord to the Power Pack. (Both ends of this cord have the same type of connector. Be sure that the interlocking guide fits together properly and tighten the joint ring.)

Operating Procedure
1. Attach a bit to the driver. (See “Attaching a Bit” below) · If using model BL-3000, remove the torque adjustment nut cover before attaching a bit.
2. Set the driver to clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation as desired, then push the switch lever to check that the driver turns in the correct direction. After checking, be sure the switch is left on the clockwise setting.
Caution: Always turn the power off before reversing the rotation direction setting.
3. Make the desired torque adjustment setting. (See “Torque Adjustment” below.)
4. Begin fastening by fitting the end of the bit to the head of a screw to be tightened and pulling the switch lever.
· In push-to-start mode, the driver automatically goes on when pressure is applied to the bit end.
5. The clutch will immediately stop rotation when the preset torque level is reached. At this point, raise the driver from the screw and release the switch lever. Repeat this cycle for each tightening operation.
· In push-to-start mode, do not raise the driver from the screw head until rotation has stopped.
6. Set rotation direction to counterclockwise to loosen a screw. Very tightly fastened screws can be loosened by repeatedly applying the driver to the screw to obtain short bursts of rotation force.

Attaching a Bit

Caution

Be sure to either turn the power switch off or disconnect the power cord before attempting to change bits. Failure to do so could be especially dangerous if the driver is set to push-to-start mode. In either case, unexpected start up of the driver could result in injury.

If using model BL-3000, BL-5000 or BL7000, raise the joint shaft collar at the bottom of the tool, then insert the bit.
· As for BL-2000, press the Joint-shaft collar towards inside of the screwdriver and insert the bit.
· If using model BL-3000, push the joint shaft collar into the tool to attach the bit. Then pull on it to be sure it is properly attached.

Torque Adjustment
Torque is controlled by the tension on a spring inside the torque adjustment nut. If set the nut tighter, the output torque is higher.
· The adjustment torque scale does not give the actual output torque. Please regard the output torque graph as an approximate guide.

Torque Adjustment Procedure
1. If you have a predetermined torque value, set that value on the scale using the torque adjustment nut.
· The BL-2000 Electric Screwdriver have `Double nut system’ (Nut fixing ring and Torque adjusting nut) to avoid loosening from shock or vibration to the Screwdriver.

BL-2000
· At first, keep the Nut fixing ring to fit the scale at which, if you want to adjust.
· Then turn the Torque adjusting nut toward the Nut fixing ring.
· Lastly, to avoid the loosening of the `Torque adjusting nut fasten strongly the Nut fixing ring by holding the `Torque adjusting nut’.

2. Turn the driver on and tighten a screw to check that the driver stops at a satisfactory level of tightness.
3. Readjust the torque setting, tighter or looser, as necessary. Repeat the procedure until you arrive at the desired torque setting.

It is recommended that a Hios torque meter be used to measure torque. Use the HP series for measurement of the driver’s torque setting and the HDP series or the HDM series to measure loosening or tightening torque of screws.

If Repairs are Requested
Check the items listed in the table below, and if a malfunction is found, contact your store of purchase of our company.
Always include your warranty card when sending in the driver for repairs.

Symptoms

Cause and Treatment
