OPERATION

CAUTION:

 

Always insert the battery cartridge 

all the way until it locks in place.

 If you can see the 

red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not 

locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator 

cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of 

the tool, causing injury to you or someone around 

you.

Hold the tool firmly and place the impact socket over 

the bolt or nut. Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper 

fastening time.

The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon 

the kind or size of the bolt, the material of the workpiece 

to be fastened, etc. The relation between fastening 

torque and fastening time is shown in the figures.

 Fastening torque

NOTE:

 Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut.

NOTE:

 Excessive fastening torque may damage the 

bolt/nut or impact socket. Before starting your job, 

always perform a test operation to determine the 

proper fastening time for your bolt or nut.

NOTE:

 If the tool is operated continuously until the 

battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest 

for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery 

cartridge.

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.  Impact socket

• 

Failure to use the correct size impact socket 

will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.

• 

A worn impact 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 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 coefficient, 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.
