Hager provide a sticky label for the torque setting requirements for their new panels, anyone know where you can get hold of these label's for an existing panel.

Could try Hager, I suppose. It's on their website.Hager provide a sticky label for the torque setting requirements for their new panels, anyone know where you can get hold of these label's for an existing panel.
Thanks ipf, but I thought that Hager would make the yellow sticky available, I suppose I will just have to use my new Brother E550W instead. Just bought some yellow tape so it will have to do.
You buy one colour tape and what font colour. Yellow label and white font, isn’t very clear.I haven't got a full handle on the E550W as yet, but I don't think you can change the colour of the font from the machine, as I believe it's a Thermal process that prints onto the tape and is black only.
Unfortunately not, mines a Rhino.Haven't seen any other colour font tape on offer for that machine, can you provide a link?
Brother do a huge range of tapes and colours, and widths as well. You can also get ribbon, heat shrink, iron on labels etc etc.Haven't seen any other colour font tape on offer for that machine, can you provide a link?
BUT ARE YOUR FINGERS CALIBRATED?Funny, but it's a finger catch, no screwdriver needed.
one of the major issues I've heard about NOT using a Torque driver is that we do over tighten the screws as we think they need to be locked down tight, this doesn't seem to be the required case as manufacturers are specifying much lower Nm figures which if we were to either under or over tighten the cables in the terminals and an issue occurs its us who come under scrutiny, but if we are to use the said Torque driver and do as the manufacturer states were not to blame, unfortunately there no way we can prove we followed the manurers specification in the first place, but that said if an issue did come to light and you were put under the spotlight by Health and safety, fire investigators or an insurance company etc if you have a Torque driver to show them thats not clean as a whistle from lack of use then you have a better fighting chance than not owning or using one>I see what you mean about 'tightening to a particular torque setting'. I guess they must set the Nm to whatever is safe for the 1mm conductor so it does not cause damage to the copper(yet is tight enough), this same torque setting must be the same for the 6mm which means perhaps we over tighten for the 6mm when using a screwdriver. But can you overtighten a 6mm? If I screw the 6mm in as tight as I possibly can I don't see it getting damaged?
