-
Do not use dropped or struck battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
-
Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged.
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power. -
Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life. -
Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10 ゚ C – 40 ゚ C (50 ゚ F – 104 ゚ F).
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
- Always switch off the tool before installation or removal of the battery cartridge.
- To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
- To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
- Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.
Switch action
Fig.2
CAUTION:
- Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released.
- Change the direction of rotation only when the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing it before the tool stops may damage the tool.
The switch is reversible, providing either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. To start the tool, simply pull the lower part (A) of the switch trigger for clockwise or the upper part (B) for counterclockwise. Release the switch trigger to stop.
Lighting up the front lamp
Fig.3
CAUTION:
- Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.
Push the upper position of the lamp switch for turning on the light and the lower position for off.
NOTE:
- Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the illumination.
- The light is provided with anti excessive discharge circuit. When the lamp does not light up even after the light switch is turned on, there is likely to be battery power drop. Try to charge the battery cartridge.
- Keep the lamp switch in “off” position while not in need of the light.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
Selecting correct socket
Always use the correct size socket for bolts and nuts. An incorrect size socket will result in inaccurate and inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage to the bolt or nut.
Installing or removing socket
Fig.4
-
For socket without O-ring and pin
To install the socket, push it onto the anvil of the tool until it locks into place.
To remove the socket, simply pull it off. -
For socket with O-ring and pin
Fig.5
Move the O-ring out of the groove in the socket and remove the pin from the
socket. Fit the socket onto the anvil of the tool so that the hole in the
socket is aligned with the hole in the anvil. Insert the pin through the hole
in the socket and anvil.
Then return the O-ring to the original position in the socket groove to retain
the pin. To remove the socket, follow the installation procedures in reverse.
Align the hole in the side of the socket with the detent pin on the anvil and
push it onto the anvil of the tool until it locks into place. Tap it lightly
if required.
To remove the socket, simply pull it off.
Hook
CAUTION:
After installing the hook, make sure that it is screwed firmly.
Fig.6
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on either
side and then secure it with a screw.
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
- Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the red part on the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt or nut. Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper fastening time.
Fig.7
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon the kind or size of the bolt, the material of the workpiece to be fastened, etc. The relation between fastening torque and fastening time is shown in the figures.
NOTE:
- Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut.
- Excessive fastening torque may damage the bolt/nut or socket. Before starting your job, always perform a test operation to determine the proper fastening time for your bolt or nut.
- 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.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the following. After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.
-
When the battery cartridge is discharged almost completely, voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be reduced.
-
Socket
• Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
• A worn socket (wear on the hex end or square end) will cause a reduction in the fastening torque. -
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. -
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.
-
The manner of holding the tool or the material of driving position to be fastened will affect the torque.
-
Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
- Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
