Operating the BLG-4000 Model

1. Attach power tool cable to the BLG-4000 screwdriver and the transformer. Make sure notch in plug lines up
with the notch on the socket. Tighten knurled ground ring.

2. Plug in power cord to the back of the transformer and power outlet. Flip power switch to “ON” position
located on the front of transformer.

3. Select a bit. Retract the bit collar. Insert the bit and release the retracted collar. To avoid damaging
fasteners, make sure the proper bit is suitable for the head of the fastener.

4. The torque limit is determined by the tension of the coil spring housed in the torque adjustment nut. The
tighter the coil spring is wound the higher the torque limit is raised. See Torque Charts on page 4 to
determine the appropriate torque adjustment setting.

5. Rotate the torque adjustment nut to set the torque limit. Turn clockwise to increase torque and counter
clockwise to decrease torque. The scale adjacent to the Torque Adjustment Nut is a reference guide. The
torque output from the driver can change depending on various fastening factors like friction, type of joint,
and the type material being used like a washer. Verify torque setting with a torque testing system.

6. Turn driver on and check for proper rotation. FOR-clockwise, REV-counterclockwise.

7. To apply torque, squeeze the lever. The driver will automatically stop when the preset torque has been
reached.

8. To remove the screw, turn the FOR/REV switch to REV position.

Operating the BLG-5000 Model

1. Attach power tool cable to the BLG-5000 screwdriver and the transformer. Make sure notch in plug lines up
with the notch on the socket. Tighten knurled ground ring.

2. Plug in power cord to the back of the transformer and power outlet. Flip power switch to “ON” position
located on the front of transformer.

3. Select a bit. Retract the bit collar. Slide the bit collar forward. Insert the bit and release the retracted
collar. To avoid damaging fasteners, make sure the proper bit is suitable for the head of the fastener.

4. The torque limit is determined by the tension of the coil spring housed in the tool. The
tighter the coil spring is wound the higher the torque limit is raised. See Torque Charts on page 4 to
determine the appropriate torque adjustment setting.

5. Using the “Hex Key wrench”, set the torque referring to the torque adjustment scale “1 to 8”. Turn
clockwise to increase torque and counter clockwise to decrease torque. The torque adjustment scale
is a reference guide. The torque output from the driver can change depending on various fastening
factors like friction, type of joint, and the type material being used like a washer. Verify torque setting
with a torque testing system.

6. Turn driver on and check for proper rotation. FOR-clockwise, REV-counterclockwise.

7. To apply torque, squeeze the lever (If Push-to-Start setting is set-up for the BLG-5000* model - place
light downward pressure on the nose of the driver). The driver will automatically stop when the preset torque has been
reached.

8. To remove the screw, turn the FOR/REV switch to REV position.

* Note: The BLG-5000 features a two-way start system (switchable between Lever

Start and Push-to-Start)

How to Change BLG-5000 to “Push” Start System

1. Unscrew the “switch lever shaft screw” and then take off the “switch lever”. Using
tweezers, move the selection SW near “P” (push) mark.

* Note: Do not press or hit the SW or you may damage the SW or body case.

BLG-Series Operating Instructions

Torque Reference Charts

These charts are meant to be used as guidelines for setting the torque on the BLG-Series electric screwdrivers. The drivers
have a torque adjustment scale showing reference numbers. These numbers determine the approximate torque setting. Refer
to the charts to determine the reference number setting for your torque requirement.

How to Read the Torque Charts

Torque ranges (lbf.in) approximate tightening torque, operated with no load at maximum speed. Verify torque setting with a
torque testing system.

Testing Power Tools:

1. Application Method: Use a torque tester in “Peak Mode” with a rotary torque sensor between the power tool and the actual

application. This is the best way to test since you are using the actual joint as the test station. You will see the actual

torque applied to the fastener. Caution: Variances in tool performance may occur do to the addition of the rotary torque sensor.

2. Simulated Method: Always use a quality joint rate simulator (run down adapter) with a torque tester when testing power

tools in a simulated application. Use Joint rate and Breakaway methods to obtain most accurate torque readings in a
simulated rundown.

Care

1. The BLG-Series screwdrivers are a precision torque control instrument and should be handled with care at all times.

2. Only use the transformers listed in the Mountz catalog or website for appropriate BLG-Series driver model (If you have any questions

regarding the appropriate transformer set-up, contact Mountz Customer Service Department).

3. Operate under safe conditions. Do not place in operation where such objects as hair, strings, clothing, etc. can become

tangled in the rotating bit.

4. Keep away from moisture. Never use in high humid, moist or damp environment.
