Adjusting the fastening torque
When you wish to drive machine screws, wood screws,
hex bolts, etc. with the predetermined torque, adjust the
fastening torque as follows.
1. First remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
2. Loosen and remove the screw that secures ring.
(Loosen the two screws that secure ring only for
BFL201F) (Fig. 6)
3. Rotate the ring in the front of the tool by hand so that a
hole can be seen below the ring.
4. Place the battery cartridge in place and pull the switch
trigger. Release it so that the adjust ring rotates and
the hole becomes visible as illustrated (Fig. 7). And
then remove the battery cartridge.
5. Use an optional adjust grip to adjust the fastening
torque. Insert the pin of the adjust grip into the hole in
the front of the tool. And then, turn the adjust grip
clockwise to set a greater fastening torque, and coun-
terclockwise to set a smaller fastening torque. (Fig. 8)
6. Align the edge of the adjust ring with your desired
number on the fastening torque scale.
7. Insert the battery cartridge and be sure that a fasten-
ing torque has been set up by using a fastening torque
tester.
8. Rotate the ring so that the hole for adjust grip is cov-
ered, hold and then secure the ring with screw.
NOTE:
• Numbers on the fastening torque scale is a guideline to
set up your desired fastening torque.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Selecting correct socket
There are different types of sockets for some models
depending on applications. Choose and install a correct
socket for your application.
Installing or removing socket (Fig. 9)
To install the socket, push it onto the square drive of the
tool with one hand by depressing a pin on the square
drive with another hand until it locks into place. To
remove the socket, simply pull it off depressing the pin on
the square drive.
OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt or
nut. Then switch the tool on. When the clutch cuts in, the
motor will stop automatically. Then release the switch
trigger. (Fig. 10)
NOTE:
• Hold the tool with its square drive pointed straight at the
bolt or nut, or the bolt or nut will be damaged.
Limits of fastening capacity
Use the tool within the range of the revolution angle up to
360°. If you use the tool beyond the upper limit of this
range, the clutch does not work. And the tool cannot
deliver enough fastening torque (LED indicator blinks in
purple slowly or lights up in purple).
NOTE:
• The revolution angle means the angle which a screw/
bolt revolves when the tool attains to 100% from 50% of
desired torque.
• Use of a low temperature conditioned battery cartridge
may sometimes give warning for battery cartridge
capacity by warning lamp and beeper which makes the
tool stop immediately. In this case, the fastening capac-
ity may be inferior to the specification on this manual
even if a charged battery cartridge is used.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centres, always
