1 About the Cordless tool

The QPM cordless tool from STANLEY Assembly Technologies is designed to secure, or fasten, threaded fasteners
in industrial assembly operations or for precision position and or adjustment applications only. It utilizes closed
loop control of torque, speed and angle so that it can perform various routines to secure each fastener with the
highest quality results. The high precision torque and angle sensors provide feedback to the integrated digital
control circuit. This circuit compares the feedback values to the programmed values and adjusts the servo
motor’s power and speed values to maintain the programmed speed on the output of the tool until the fastener
has achieved the programmed target torque and/or angle value. Once the programmed target value is sensed the
control circuit turns off the servo motor leaving the fastener with the desired amount of preload or clamping force.

The QPM cordless tool uses a STANLEY MCB204 or DCB204 20V Lithium Ion battery pack as its power source.
Use a STANLEY MCB101 12V Max*– 20V Max* Lithium Ion Battery Charger to charge the MCB204 or DCB204
battery pack.

Programming tightening strategies into the QPM cordless tool requires a QPM Expert Alpha controller. The cordless
tool has an embedded transceiver and communicates to the QPM Expert Alpha controller via an IEEE 802.11b/g

WIFI connection. See section
the cordless tool to the controller. See the QPM Expert Alpha controller manual for instructions on programming.

After programming, the tool can remain paired to the controller for program selection, error proofing operations
or data management requirements or it can be used independent of the controller.

The QPM cordless tool stores data for 500 fastening cycles and 1 trace. These values can be viewed and retrieved
using the QPM Expert Alpha controller.

Periodic preventive maintenance and calibration will keep the QPM cordless tool in optimum working condition
allowing it to continue to achieve high quality results.

VIBRATION HAZARDS
To Avoid Injury:

• This information is provided to assist in making rough estimates of sound and vibration exposure levels in
the workplace. The declared emission values were obtained by laboratory type testing in accordance with
the stated standards. Levels measured in individual workplaces may be higher.

WARNING

• The actual exposure levels and risk of harm experienced by an individual user depends upon the work
piece, workstation design, duration of exposure, and the physical condition and work habits of the user. To
help prevent physical impairment, a program of health surveillance is highly recommended to detect early
symptoms which may relate to sound and/or vibration exposure, such that appropriate preventive measures
may be taken.

1.7 Operator Protection

ROTATING EQUIPMENT
To Avoid Injury:

• Always wear eye and foot protection when operating, installing, or maintaining power tools, and when in
areas where power tools are being used, maintained, or installed. Some applications may require the use
of safety glasses and face shields. Use eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.[3] and ANSI Z41-PT99M
I/75 C/75.

• Always stay alert when operating tools and/or their accessories. Do no operate tools and/or their accessories
while tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any other mind-altering substance.

• Repetitive work motions or vibration may be harmful to your hands, arms, shoulders or back.

• Use suitable protective equipment and work methods whenever an application presents a hazard.

1.7.1 Torque Reaction Forces

TORQUE REACTION FORCE
To Avoid Injury:

• Be alert and maintain good balance, footing, and posture at all times in anticipation of the power tool torque
reaction. Do not over-extend or over-reach.

• Always check directional control setting before operating the power tool.

UNEXPECTED REACTION FORCES
To Avoid Injury:

• Be prepared – when a power tool operates in the disassembly direction, the torque reaction is opposite to
the reaction produced when the power tool operates in the assembly direction.

• The power tool can have a higher initial reaction force when loosening a fastener.

• Always stop the power tool before changing the direction of spindle rotation.

1.7.2 Repetitive Motion

REPETITIVE MOTION HAZARD
To Avoid Injury:

• When using a power tool, you may experience discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of your body.

Introduction

WARNING

WARNING

• While using a power tool, position your body in a comfortable posture. Maintain secure footing and avoid
awkward or off-balance postures. Changing your body posture during extended tasks may help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.

• If you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensations, or stiffness, do not ignore these warning signs. Promptly tell your employer
and consult a qualified health professional.

The use of power tools may involve highly repetitive motions of the fingers, hands, wrists, and shoulders. These
repetitive motions can lead to cumulative trauma disorders (CTD). Many personal and workplace factors can
contribute to these disorders.

Currently available data have identified the following risk factors. These risk factors are not necessarily causation
factors of CTDs. The mere presence of a risk factor does not necessarily mean there is excessive risk of injury.
Generally, the greater the exposure to a single risk factor or combination of factors the greater the risk for CTDs.

• Forceful exertions and motions

• Extreme postures and motions

• Repetitive exertions and motions

• Intended duration of exertion, postures, motions, vibration, and cold

• Insufficient rest or pauses

• Work organization risk factors

• Environmental risk factors
These risk factors span job design and content, operator training, work method, work pace, work environment,

proper tool selection and other work place factors beyond the control of the tool manufacturer. Tool owners and
