HOW TO USE
1. Installing the bit
Always follow the following procedure to install driver
bit. (Fig. 4)
(1) Pull the guide sleeve forward.
(2) Insert the bit into the hexagonal hole in the socket.
(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its original
position.
CAUTION
If the guide sleeve does not return to its original
position, then the bit is not installed properly.
2. Removing the bit
Please do the opposite point on the method of
installing bit.
3. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly
4. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the selector button.
The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn the
bit counterclockwise (See Fig. 5) (The
marks are provided on the body).
5. Switch operation
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by
varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled.
Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly
and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.
NOTE
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about
to rotate. This is only a noise, not a machine failure.
6. Using the light
Pull the trigger switch to light up the light. The light
keeps on lighting while the trigger switch is being
pulled. The light goes out after releasing the trigger
switch. (Fig. 6)
CAUTION
Do not look directly into the light. Such actions could
result in eye injury.
7. Tightening and loosening screws
Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit in
the grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten it.
Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit
fitting the head of the screw.
CAUTION
Applying the impact driver for too long tightens the
screw too much and can break it.
Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an angle
to that screw can damage the head of the screw and
the proper force will not be transmitted to the screw.
Tighten with this impact driver lined up straight with
the screw.
8. Using in the straight or pistol configuration
Use the tool in the straight configuration when using
in confined spaces. Use it in the pistol configuration
when using in other locations. Select the configuration
that best matches the tool application. When changing
the configuration, the tool will make a clicking sound
when it snaps into position. Bend (or extend) the tool
until the clicking sound is heard.
CAUTION
When using the tool in the pistol configuration, do
not hold onto the bending portion of the tool when
returning to the straight configuration. Your finger or
other part of the hand may be pinched by the bending
portion resulting in possible injury (Fig. 7).
9. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism
When the main switch is off, the bit is locked in place,
and the tool can be used as a manual screwdriver.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
1. Resting the unit after continuous work
After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest
the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the
battery. The temperature of the motor, switch, etc.,
will rise if the work is started again immediately after
battery replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
NOTE
Do not touch the metal parts, as it gets very hot
during continuous work.
2. Cautions on use of the speed control switch
This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which
steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently,
when the switch trigger is pulled only slightly (low
speed rotation) and the motor is stopped while
continuously driving in screws, the components of the
R
L
and
electronic circuit parts may overheat and be damaged.
3. Use a tightening time suitable for the screw
The appropriate torque for a screw differs according to
the material and size of the screw, and the material
being screwed etc., so please use a tightening time
suitable for the screw. In particular, if a long tightening
time is used in the case of screws smaller than M8, there
is a danger of the screw breaking, so please confirm the
tightening time and the tightening torque beforehand.
4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt
under impact
The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts differs
with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An
excessively large tightening torque for a small bolt
may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque
increases in proportion to the operation time. Use
the correct operating time for the bolt.
5. Confirm the tightening torque
The following factors contribute to a reduction of the
tightening torque. So confirm the actual tightening
torque needed by screwing up some bolts before the
job with a hand torque wrench. Factors affecting the
tightening torque are as follows.
(1) Voltage
When the discharge margin is reached, voltage
decreases and tightening torque is lowered.
(2) Operating time
The tightening torque increases when the operating
time increases. But the tightening torque does not
increase above a certain value even if the tool is
driven for a long time.
(3) Diameter of bolt
The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the
bolt. Generally a larger diameter bolt requires larger
tightening torque.
(4) Tightening conditions
The tightening torque differs according to the torque
ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with
the same size threads are used. The tightening torque
also differs according to the condition of the surface
of workpiece through which the bolts are to be
tightened. When the bolt and nut turn together, torque
is greatly reduced.
