FACTORS AFFECTING THE TIGHTENING 

TORQUE

CHARGING BATTERY PACK

MAINTENANCE

To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be

performed by an AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER or 

other QUALIFIED SERVICE ORGANIZATION.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

WARNING!

After use, check the tool to make sure that it is in top 

condition. It is recommended that you take this tool to a 

RYOBI Authorized Service Center for a thorough cleaning 

and lubrication at least once a year.

DO NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS WHILE THE 

MOTOR IS IN MOTION.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD FROM THE

RECEPTACLE BEFORE CHANGING REMOVABLE OR 

EXPENDABLE PARTS (BLADE, BIT, SANDING PAPER 

ETC.), LUBRICATING OR WORKING ON THE UNIT.

1. Voltage

    When the battery pack is on the verge of discharging, the 

    voltage and tightening torque drop.

2. Tightening time

    The tightening torque increases with the tightening time, 

     but does not increase after a certain amount of time.

    The suitable tightening torque for the bolts varies with 

     their material, size, and grade. If bolts are tightened with 

     a high tightening torque, they may be stretched or broken. 

     Tighten with a tightening time and tightening torque 

     suitable for the bolts.

3. When the material into which objects are tightened is 

    different

    When tightening a bolt into a soft material such as wood, 

    the tightening torque is much lower than when doing so 

    into a hard material such as steel.

4. When the bolt diameter is different

    When the diameter of the bolt is different, so is the 

    tightening torque. Generally, when the diameter is large, 

    so is the tightening torque. The tightening torque also 

    varies with the torque coefficient, grade, and length of the 

    bolt.

5. Trigger position

    When the trigger is not pulled fully back (when not at full

    power), the tightening torque is lower.

6. Socket

    The tightening torque is lower if a socket which is not

    suitable for the bolt is used.

Read and follow all warnings and instructions in owner’s 

manual of the XPP-2700.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING BATTERY PACK 

(Fig. 3)

To install battery pack, lock the trigger switch by placing the 

forward/reverse switch in the center position. Align the body 

with the groove in the battery pack and push in the direction 

of the arrow until the battery pack is secured on the tool.

To remove the battery pack from the tool, push the push 

button (5) on and remove the battery pack in the direction of 

the arrow.
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are 

assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when 

not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental 

starting that could cause serious personal injury.
