Think Safety First!
Working with fastening tools can be dangerous if safe and proper procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, certain hazards can be involved with the operation of the product. Using these
tools with caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. If, however, safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored pers onal injury to the operator can result.
Always use common sense and exercise caution when using these tools. They can produce torque that,
unless properly compensated for, could cause personal injury. Remember, your personal safety is your
responsibility.
Only GSE tech-motive tool-qualified service technicians should perform the procedures covered in
this manual. If you are an operator or service technician, you should become familiar with the
contents of this manual before operating, servicing, or performing maintenance on any part of the
fastening system, including the SD25 Series screwdrivers. Familiarization with all components of the
system can minimize the possibility that an accident or injury might occur.
SPX GSE tech-motive tool assumes no responsibility for personal injury or damage to equipment
resulting from misuse of these tools. After reviewing this manual you should also review all safety
procedures provided by your company and the equipment installer.
WARNING!
!
Failure to follow these rules can result in serious personal
injury.
General Machine Safety
• FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL THOROUGHLY
PRIOR TO OPERATING THE TOOL.
• DO NOT WORK IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in a
damp or wet location or explosive atmosphere, or expose them to rain, oils, or corrosive
fluids.
• KNOW THE LOCATION OF POWER DISCONNECTS PRIOR TO OPERATING
THIS EQUIPMENT.
• KEEP ALL ELECTRICAL PANELS CLOSED DURING OPERATION. High voltage
present inside enclosure panels can result in personal injury. Do NOT bypass or defeat
electrical safety devices. Turn the power actuator to the OFF position prior to any
servicing or maintenance of the controller.
• OBSERVE ALL GOVERNMENT AND/OR COMPANY POWER LOCKOUT
STANDARDS.
• NEVER OPERATE SOLENOID VALVES, LIMIT SWITCHES OR RELAYS
MANUALLY as this practice can create dangerous, unexpected machine movements.
June 2004 T-40409-A Page 3
SD25 Series Screwdrivers
• SECURE THE TOOL. Tools that develop torque can produce hazardous torque
reactions. Always be sure that the tool is properly fixtured to absorb reaction as a
fastener is tightened. Never operate a tool capable of high torque without proper
fixturing.
• SECURE WORK. Avoid situations where the part being fastened breaks loose and can
cause damage.
• NEVER TOUCH OR ATTEMPT TO STOP MOVING MACHINERY OR PARTS
WITH YOUR HANDS, OTHER PARTS OF YOUR BODY, OR MAKESHIFT
DEVICES.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL,
DRUGS OR MEDICATION THAT CAN IMPAIR YOUR JUDGMENT.
• REPORT ALL UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES TO YOUR
SUPERVISOR AND / OR SAFETY DEPARTMENT FOR CORRECTION.
• WEAR APPROVED SAFETY GLASSES AT ALL TIMES.
• DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY, especially bracelets and rings, while operating the
fastening tools. Keep hands and fingers away from all rotating parts and avoid situations
where clothing can become tangled in the tool. Secure loose fitting clothing, neckties,
and long hair. Wear medical alert identification cautiously.
• DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN. Do not work on or near slippery floors or
surfaces. Avoid situations where the tool reacts against unexpected obstacles. Do not
operate electrical equipment while standing on a wet floor.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools properly lubricated and clean.
If any wires become frayed or exposed, replace them immediately. Prevent dirt, grease
or contaminants from getting into the tool.
• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be careful how the tool is
left unattended. Avoid resting it on its throttle/trigger lever to prevent false starts.
• CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION. The reaction torque changes direction
when going from forward to reverse. Always be aware of the direction the tool will
rotate prior to using it. If the tool is not fixtured this will allow you to brace for the
proper direction of torque reaction.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of a tool, any part of the tool that is
damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Never operate a tool that has
damaged or exposed wires. Never operate a tool that has any part of the powertrain,
other than the output spindle, exposed.

User’s Manual
Electrical Safety
Only qualified and properly trained personnel should perform electrical/electronic
troubleshooting and repair. Consider the following electrical system safety guidelines:
• Before you troubleshoot or service a fastening system station, be sure you have an up-todate and appropriate set of electrical drawings for that station.
• Remove metal items, such as rings, metal necklaces, wristwatches and jewelry, as these
can create electrical hazards. Wear medical alert identification cautiously.
• Wear safety glasses, but avoid wearing those that have metal rims or metal side shields.
• It may be necessary to troubleshoot equipment while the power is ON. ONLY qualified,
trained personnel should do this. During these instances, open only the panels, doors, or
covers that need to be opened. Know the voltage present at all points before you begin
troubleshooting.
• Use properly insulated tools when working on electrical equipment to reduce the
possibility of shock. Make sure the insulation is adequate to safeguard against the high
voltages present.
• If you must work on the electrical system, make sure the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) is in the OFF position, or remove the plug from the AC outlet, or turn
off the circuit breaker.
• Do not attempt to modify or repair the machine without the approval of the proper
authorities.
• Use approved fuse pullers when changing fuses.
• Never use jumper wires or fuse substitutes to replace specified fuses.
• Always use fuses of a capacity smaller than or equal to the safe capacity of the line or
the equipment it serves.
• Before you work on any circuit, check it with an appropriate testing device to be sure
voltage is not present.
• Install temporary wiring as safely as possible and replace it with permanent wiring as
soon as possible. Install grounding wherever it is needed in the final installation. If
modifications are made to the system wiring, drawings must be revised to illustrate this
change.
• Know how to deal with electrical fires properly. Keep carbon dioxide and powder
extinguishers handy.

SD25 Series Screwdrivers
Getting Started
All SD25 Series handheld screwdrivers have the following features to provide torque information
right at your fingertips:
• Programmable multi-purpose pushbutton for Cycle Complete, multi-parameter set selection, Data
Send, etc.
• Forward / reverse direction button
• Multi-color light-emitting diode (LED) illumination ring that indicates acceptable, high and low
torque/angle
The SD25 Series Screwdriver can identify its maximum speed and torque capacities to the controller.
However, you may need to verify that the screwdriver you have is capable of generating the torque
specified in the active parameter set displayed on the controller. If the screwdriver you are connecting
to a controller is not capable of developing the torque specified in the parameter sets it will not run at
all. You should first verify that the screwdriver operates properly.
All SD25 Series screwdrivers have internal memory inside that identifies how the screwdriver was
configured upon manufacture. Because the SD25 Series screwdrivers are highly programmable -through both the factory settings contained in the screwdriver memory and the configuration of your
particular controller -- there are many possible combinations of screwdriver functionality.
• If your screwdrive r has a multi-purpose button installed, you may have it configured to perform
one of several functions.
The Visual Supervisor (VS)-based controller (CS2000 Mini Controller connected to a laptop
computer) allows you to look at all of the factory or configured settings inside the screwdriver. VS
also allows you to change the software selectable Inputs and Outputs, change torque settings, add
parameters, enable and define the function of all switches on the screwdriver. To use the VS setup
program, open it on the laptop computer connected to the CS2000 Mini Controller. Then click on the
tool icon in the menu tree on the left side of the screen. Refer to Using Visual Supervisor Setup on
page 9 for further details.
If you have any questions about the functionality of your screwdriver, contact your sales agent or the
SPX GSE tech-motive tool Technical Service Department for assistance.
