Holdthetoolrmlyandplacethepointofthedriverbit
inthescrewhead.Applyforwardpressuretothetoolto
the extent that the bit will not slip off the screw and turn
the tool on to start operation.
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.
NOTE:WhenfasteningM8orsmallerscrew,carefully
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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
