The Turtle 10 mm, 450 W Screwdriver is a corded electric screw‑driving / light drilling tool designed for general workshops, assembly lines, maintenance work, and industrial fastening tasks. Its 10 mm chuck (or bit-holder) allows the use of standard bits and small drills. With a rated power of 450 W and a no-load speed of 750 rpm, it is optimized for controlled, torque‑driven screw insertion rather than high-speed drilling in hard materials.
Features
:- Rated Power : 450 W Provides enough torque for moderate screwdriving tasks in wood, metal, plastics.
- No-Load Speed : 0–750 rpm Allows controlled, precise screw insertion; avoids over‑torquing or "runaway" bit spin.
- 10 mm Chuck / Bit Holder : Accepts bits or small drill bits up to 10 mm (or equivalent bit shank sizes).
- Reversible Forward/Reverse Switch : Enables screw insertion and removal conveniently.
- Ergonomic Housing & Grip : To reduce operator fatigue during extended use.
- Spindle Lock / Bit Change Mechanism : For easily changing bits.
- Insulation / Double Insulation : Electrical safety features to prevent shock.
- Cooling Vents / Fan : To dissipate heat during operation.
- Durable Construction : Metal / reinforced parts at stress points (gears, bearings).
Applications
:- Industrial or workshop screw fastening (e.g. in assembly lines).
- Mounting of panels, enclosures, fixtures where screws go into wood, soft metal, plastics, composite sheets.
- Light drilling tasks in softer materials (e.g. plywood, plastic) when using small bits ( ≤ ~6–8 mm), albeit at lower speeds.
- Maintenance jobs, onsite repair work requiring screw removal/insertion.
- Electrical / electronics enclosures, furniture assembly, mechanical component fastening.
Usage
:Usage :
- Bit / Drill Selection : Use bits appropriate for the material. For screwdriving, use driver bits with a shank compatible with the 10 mm chuck. For light drilling, limit to small diameters and soft materials.
- Speed Control : Begin with low speed for engaging the screw; ramp up as needed.
- Use full 750 rpm only when necessary, avoid overrevving.
- Torque / Pressure Application : Do not force the bit—allow the motor’s torque to drive the screw. If stalling occurs, back off, reverse slightly, and retry.
- Reversal / Removal : Use the reverse function to loosen fasteners. Always stop rotation before reversing to avoid damaging threads.
- Duty Cycle Awareness : Avoid running continuously for extended periods without breaks; let the motor cool if it becomes hot.
- Mounting / Support : Hold the tool firmly but without excessive twisting. Use both hands where possible for better control.
- Bit Changes : Engage the spindle lock (if present), loosen the chuck/collet, insert new bit, then tighten securely.
Maintenance :
Cleaning
- After each use, clean the exterior with a dry, soft cloth.
- Blow out dust from ventilation slots using compressed air (at low pressure).
- Avoid allowing dust accumulation inside motor housing.
Lubrication
- Periodically lubricate gears and moving parts (as per manufacturer’s guidance) with appropriate grease (e.g. gear grease).
- Avoid over-greasing, which may attract dust.
Inspect Brushes / Commutator
- For a brushed motor design, inspect carbon brushes periodically. Replace worn brushes before metal-to-metal contact occurs.
- Clean commutator with proper solvents if carbon dust causes buildup.
Check Bearings / Shafts
- Monitor for any play or roughness in bearings. Replace if worn.
- Ensure the spindle and shaft are free of rust or damage.
Electrical Checks
- Inspect the power cord and plug for damage, cracks, or fraying; replace if compromised.
- Check for insulation breakdown or internal wiring issues.
Torque / Calibration
- If the tool has torque settings or clutch, periodically verify that the torque calibration is still accurate (if applicable).
- Any slippage or torque inconsistency should be addressed.
Storage
- Store in a clean, dry environment.
- Use the original case (if any) to protect against impact or dust ingress.
Periodic Overhaul
- After a certain number of hours or usage cycles (as per manufacturer spec), consider full servicing: disassembly, thorough cleaning, part replacement, reassembly
