NOTICE: If you use a spare battery to continue
the operation, rest the tool at least 15 min.
NOTE: Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/
bolt that you wish to use.

adjustpressureontheswitchtriggersothatthescrew
is not damaged.
NOTE: Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
NOTE: If the impact force is too strong or you tighten
thescrewforatimelongerthanshowninthegures,
the screw or the point of the driver bit may be over-
stressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before starting your
job,alwaysperformatestoperationtodeterminethe
proper fastening time for your screw.
Thefasteningtorqueisaffectedbyawidevarietyof
factorsincludingthefollowing.Afterfastening,always
check the torque with a torque wrench.
1. Whenthebatterycartridgeisdischargedalmost
completely, voltage will drop and the fastening
torque will be reduced.
2. Driver bit or socket bit
Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket
bit will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
• Eventhoughthetorquecoefcientandthe
class of bolt are the same, the proper fasten-
ing torque will differ according to the diame-
ter of bolt.
• Eventhoughthediametersofboltsarethe
same, the proper fastening torque will differ
accordingtothetorquecoefcient,theclass
of bolt and the bolt length.
4. Themannerofholdingthetoolorthematerial
of driving position to be fastened will affect the
torque.
5. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduc-
tion in the fastening torque.
