Yes I would agree. I think the 8Nm refers to when the terminal pole will twist. Therefore I assumed the "less than 8Nm" meant exactly that as far as the safe torque for a nut.My guess is that 5 or 6 is good enough.
Also it has been mentioned earlier that people have punched through the bottom of the terminal so I back off my grub screws 1/4 turn. I am not sure why @Darkstar feels it is necessary to put them in more than finger tight, especially when there is JBWeld at the bottom of the hole. I think that would put unnecessary pressure on the bottom of the terminal for no apparent benefit.
