Dear transllover,
yes I believe it does as these fittings will easen the tightening using fingers only "Fingertight fittings offer the convenience of making a tubing connection without the need for wrenches or specialized tools when tightening the fitting into place. Simply use your fingers to tighten the fitting into the receiving port!"
تركيبات أو قطع تيسر الربط بإستخدام الأصابع

In my view, your suggestion is fine, except that you will need to qualify it further. As it stands, it gives the impression that no other parts of the body (hands, arms) are to be used. I think that you should add 'force' or 'pressure' somewhere, in relation to the fingers, to indicate that no 'outside' agents are to be used, which is what I think the writer intended..
Note from asker:
Hello Mr. Ibrahim and every body. I have the intuition that tight here is an imperative verb and thus we may render it as استخدم الأصابع فقط للربط especially I have in the same table this expression Using the screw connector, plug in the footpedal connector (#19361, 19381) to the rear panel of the console. If it is a noun it might be one of the fingertight fittings seen through the link I provided earlier. Just brain storming!
