- Inserting a Blade:
- Select the appropriate screwdriver blade for your fastener.
- Insert the blade firmly into the receiver on the angular head or the standard screwdriver handle. Ensure it clicks into place or is held securely.
Operating Instructions
- Selecting the Correct Blade: Always match the blade type (e.g., Phillips, slotted) and size to the fastener head to prevent damage to both the fastener and the blade.
- Applying Torque with Angular Head:
- Position the angular head with the inserted blade onto the fastener.
- Hold the long series handle firmly.
- Rotate the handle to tighten or loosen the fastener. The 90-degree angle allows access in confined spaces.
- Using the Standard Handle: For fasteners in easily accessible areas, insert the chosen blade directly into the standard screwdriver handle and operate as a conventional screwdriver.
- Caution: Do not over-tighten fasteners, as this can strip threads or damage the material.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the screwdriver handle, angular head, and blades with a clean, dry cloth. Remove any dirt, dust, or debris.
- Lubrication: The angular head mechanism is designed for smooth operation. Avoid applying excessive lubricants unless specifically recommended by Beta, as this can attract dirt.
- Storage: Always store the screwdriver set in its original plastic case. This protects the components from environmental damage and keeps them organized.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect blades for wear, bending, or damage. Replace worn or damaged blades to ensure optimal performance and safety.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
