OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury. Exception—Tool Connect™
functions and mode adjustments require battery to
be installed.
NOTICE: Always check the tool configuration prior to
use. If you are unsure of the current configuration, press
the mode selector button
Home setting as described on the label and this manual.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. C)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
Usage
Your impact tool generates the following maximum torque:
Cat #
Nm
Speed 3/2/1
DCF896, DCF896H
447/447/200
nOTE: Tool Connect™ custom speed settings will affect the
maximum torque output of the tool. Speeds lower than the
Home setting generally result in lower maximum torque.
CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand
the level of torque generated by the tool. Excessive torque
may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press switch to start operation. Release the switch to stop
operation. Always check torque with a torque wrench, as
the fastening torque is affected by many factors including
the following:

Speed 3/2/1
Speed 3/2/1
330/330/150
3960/3960/1800
Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged
-
battery, will reduce fastening torque.
-
accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory size
will cause a reduction in fastening torque.
-
Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require
higher fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary
according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other
-
debris to allow proper fastening torque.
-
Material: The type of material and surface finish of the
material will affect fastening torque.
-
Fastening Time: Longer fasten ing time results in
increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening
time than recom mended could cause the fasteners to
be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
