OPERATION

CAUTION: Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly and place the impact socket over the bolt or nut. Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper fastening time.

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon the kind or size of the bolt, the material of the workpiece to be fastened, etc.
► Fig.17

NOTICE: When fastening small bolts, carefully adjust pressure on the switch trigger so that the bolt is not damaged.
NOTICE: Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut.
NOTICE: Excessive fastening torque may damage the bolt/nut or impact socket. Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time for your bolt or nut

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. Impact socket
   • Failure to use the correct size impact socket will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
   • A worn impact 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.

Fastening torque and torque level

NOTE: This reference value is measured by the measurement conditions specified by Makita.
NOTE: The actual value may differ according to circumstances of the fasteners, materials, and fastening method. Perform a test drive before actual work.
