Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut
•
without applying excessive pressure on the tool.
Excessive fastening torque may damage the
•
bolt/nut or socket. Before starting your job, always
perform a test operation to determine the proper
fastening time for your bolt or nut. Especially for the
bolt smaller than M8 (5/16"), perform the above test
operation to prevent the trouble on socket or bolt,
etc.
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
•
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
more than 15 minutes before proceeding with a
fresh battery.
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.
Socket
Failure to use the correct size socket will cause
•
a reduction in the fastening torque.
A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square
•
end) will cause a reduction in the fastening
torque.
3.
Bolt
Even though the torque coefficient and the
•
class of bolt are the same, the proper fastening
torque will differ according to the diameter of
bolt.
Even though the diameters of bolts are the
•
same, the proper fastening torque will differ
according to the torque coefficient, the class of
bolt and the bolt length.
4.
The use of the universal joint or the extension bar
somewhat reduces the fastening force of the
impact wrench. Compensate by fastening for a
longer period of time.
5.
The manner of holding the tool or the material of
driving position to be fastened will affect the
torque.
6.
Operating the tool at low speed will cause a
reduction in the fastening torque.
Using holster (optional accessory)
CAUTION:
Do not use for tools such as a drill with a bit
•
installed on them.
Turn off a tool and wait until it comes to a complete
•
stop before placing in the holster.
Be sure to close the holster securely so that it holds
the tool firmly.
008807
Thread a waist belt or similar through holster holder.
008808
Put the tool in the holster and lock it with the holster
button.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery 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.
