This symbol might be used in combination with a chemical symbol. In this case it
complies with the requirement set by the Directive for the chemical involved.
V. MAINTENANCE
• Use only a dry, soft cloth for wiping the unit. Do not use a damp cloth, thinner, ben-
zine, or other volatile solvents for cleaning.
• In the event that the inside of the tool or battery pack is exposed to water, drain and allow
to dry as soon as possible. Carefully remove any dust or iron filings that collect inside the
tool. If you experience any problems operating the tool, consult with a repair shop.
VI. TIGHTENING TORQUE
The power required for tightening a bolt will vary, according to bolt material and size,
as well as the material being bolted. Choose the length of tightening time accordingly.
Reference values are provided below.
(They may vary according to tightening conditions.)
Factors Affecting Tighten ing Torque
The tightening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the follow-
ings. After tightening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.
1) Voltage
When the battery pack becomes nearly discharged, the voltage decreases and the
tightening torque drops.
