OPERATION

Note: It is recommended after fastening to always check the torque with a torque wrench.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the following.

• State of battery charge – When the battery is discharged voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be reduced.
• Operation at speeds – Operating the tool at low speeds will cause a reduction in fastening torques.
• Fastening position – Holding the tool or the driving fastener in various angles will affect the torque.
• Drive accessory/socket – Failure to use the correct size accessory or socket, or a non-impact rated accessory may cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
• Use of accessories and extensions – Depending on the accessory or extension fitment can reduce the fastening force of the impact wrench.
• Bolt/Nut – Fastening torques may differ according to the diameter of the nut or bolt, the class of nut/bolt and the length of nut/bolt.
• Condition of the fastener – Contaminated, corroded, dry or lubricated fasteners may vary the fastening torques.
• Condition and base material – The base material of the fastener and any component in between the surfaces may effect the fastening torque (dry or lubricated base, soft or hard base, disc, seal or washer between fastener and base material).

IMPACTING TECHNIQUES

The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter it will become.
To help prevent damaging the fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting.
Be particularly careful when impacting smaller fasteners because they require less impacting to reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of time required to reach the desired torque.
Check the tightness with a hand-torque wrench.
If the fasteners are too tight, reduce the impacting time.
If they are not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under the head of the fastener affects the degree of tightness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages 75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench for final tightening.

RPM SETTING

The function is designed to reduce screw stripping, screw breakage, and damage to the work surface when driving self-tapping screws. This function is optimized for the most common materials, including #8 – #10 (4.2 – 5.5 mm) self-tapping screws between 12-25 mm length and 0,5-1 mm sheet metal. half- way. If pulled less than half-way, the driver will run in the normal impacting mode. When using the function, the tool will shut off automatically once the screw is fully seated.
