Tightening torque setting
You can adjust the speed of the power tool when it is on
by pressing in the on/off switch to varying extents. A light
pressure on the on/off switch results in a low rota-tional
speed. Increased pressure on the switch causes an in-
crease in speed.
IS L20: The speed of the switched-on power tool can be
variably ad justed, depending on how far the On/Off switch
is pressed.
Light pressure on the On/Off switc results in a low
rotational speed. Further pressure on the switch results in
an increase in speed.

5. Practical advice
Only apply the power tool to the screw/nut when the
tool is switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off.
The torque depends on the impact duration. The maximum
achieved torque results from the sum of all individual
torques achieved through impact. Maximum torque is
achieved after an impact duration of 6–10 seconds.
After this duration, the tightening torque increases only
minimally. The impact duration is to be determined for
each required tightening torque. The tightening torque
actually achieved should always be checked with a torque
wrench.
Screw applications with hard, spring-loaded or soft
seats.
When the achieved torques in an impact series are
measured during a test and transferred onto a diagram,
the result is the curve of a torque characteristic. The height
of the curve cor-responds to the maximum achievable
torque, and the steep-ness indicates the duration in which
this is achieved.
A torque characteristic depends on the following factors:
- Strength properties of the screws/nuts.
- Type of backing (washer, disc spring, seal)
- Strength properties of the material being screwed/bolted
together
- Lubrication conditions at the screw/bolt connection
Consequently, the following applies in each case:
- A hard seat is used for metal-to-metal screw applications
that use washers. After a relatively short impact duration,
the maximum torque is achieved (steep characteristic
curve). An unnecessarily long impact duration only
causes damage to the machine.
- A spring-loaded seat is used for metal-to-metal screw
applications that use spring washers, disc springs, studs

or screws/nuts with conical seats. It is also called a
spring-loaded seat when extensions are used.
- A soft seat is used for screw applications of e.g. metal
on wood or screw applications that use lead washers or
fibre washers as backing.

Tips
Before screwing larger, longer screws into hard materials,
it is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core diameter
of the thread to approx. 2/3 of the screw length.
Note: Ensure that no metal particles enter the power tool.
After working at a low speed for an extended period, you
should operate the power tool at the maximum speed for
ap-proximately three minutes without load to cool it down.
Recommendations for optimal handling of the battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of -20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer,
for example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging
indicates that the battery has deteriorated and must be
replaced. Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Belt clip
You can use the belt clip to hang the power tool on a belt,
for example. You then have both hands free and the power
tool is always at hand.
6. Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and cleaning
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep
the power tool and the ventilation slots clean.
