• Numbers on the fastening torque scale is a guideline to set up your desired fastening torque.

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

There are different types of sockets for some models depending on applications. Choose and install a correct socket for your application.

Installing or removing socket (Fig. 9)

To install the socket, push it onto the square drive of the tool with one hand by depressing a pin on the square drive with another hand until it locks into place. To remove the socket, simply pull it off depressing the pin on the square drive.

OPERATION

Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt or nut. Then switch the tool on. When the clutch cuts in, the motor will stop automatically. Then release the switch trigger. (Fig. 10)

NOTE:

• Hold the tool with its square drive pointed straight at the bolt or nut, or the bolt or nut will be damaged.

Limits of fastening capacity

Use the tool within the range of the revolution angle up to 360^ . If you use the tool beyond the upper limit of this range, the clutch does not work. And the tool cannot deliver enough fastening torque (LED indicator blinks in purple slowly or lights up in purple).

NOTE:

• The revolution angle means the angle which a screw/ bolt revolves when the tool attains to 100% from 50% of desired torque.
• Use of a low temperature conditioned battery cartridge may sometimes give warning for battery cartridge capacity by warning lamp and beeper which makes the tool stop immediately. In this case, the fastening capacity may be inferior to the specification on this manual even if a charged battery cartridge is used.
