side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part 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 socket over the bolt or
nut. Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper fastening
time. (Fig. 9)
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. (Fig. 10 & 11)
NOTE:
• Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut.
• 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.
• 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. 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.
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.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 12)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the
carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 13)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
CAUTION:
• These accessories or attachments are recommended
for use with your Makita tool specified in this manual.
The use of any other accessories or attachments might
present a risk of injury to persons. Only use accessory
or attachment for its stated purpose.
If you need any assistance for more details regarding
these accessories, ask your local Makita Service Center.
• Sockets
• Extension bar
• Universal joint
• Bit adapter
• Makita genuine battery and charger
NOTE:
• Some items in the list may be included in the tool
package as standard accessories. They may differ from
country to country.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN62841-2-2:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
• The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared noise emission value(s) may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• Wear ear protection.
• The noise emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared value(s)
depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN62841-2-2:
Work mode: impact tightening of fasteners of the
maximum capacity of the tool
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
