Additional Power Control Functions Quick Reference for Features and Functions

This unit is equipped with impact power mode button.By pressing impact power mode-

button, soft impact mode, medium impact mode and hard impact mode can be selected (3 settings). Please use this together with digital clutch setting. Digital clutch : (See p.7.)

This unit is equipped with the digital clutch function. The driver rotation will stop when the set clutch load is reached.

Please use this together with impact power mode select. This digital clutch is not intended for controlling the accuracy of the fasten ing torque.Example application not to be used; To control the shut-off torque used to tighten screws and bolts for manufac turing and assembly. Do not use the digital clutch when tightening screws with a low tightening torque into materials, such as thin plastic.Example applications not to be used; When tightening screws into light-weight steel sheet which thickness is 0.8 mm or less. When tightening screws into soft sur-face materials, such as interior finish ing materials. One-shot impact function : (See p.7.)

Set the one-shot impact function to tighten screws slightly to adjust the screw head flush to the material surface. Select the clutch setting to match the application. This is used when readjust ing is continuously required. The driver automatically rotates approx-imately half round and stops each time the trigger switch is depressed. (For bolts, it stops after approximately 5 impacts.) Within 1 sec. after the trigger switch is released once, if it is depressed again, the one-shot impact function will auto matically operate. Indication lights on the control panelThe indication lights will go off in the following cases.• The driver is not operated for 5 min.• When the battery is replaced.Depressing the trigger switch again, then indication lights go on in the previous condition. Main recommended applications and setting guidelines. (see p.11.) Be sure to set the impact power mode and digital clutch to match the material and screws being used for the application.Adjust the settings from low to high while checking them to settle on a final setting for impact power mode select and for digital clutch setting.When driving screws into wood, use the screws of less than 90 mm long and avoid knots of wood materials. One-shot impact function requires the impact power mode select and digital clutch settings.

One-Shot Impact Function This function helps adjust the screw head flush to the material surface. The driver rotates half round

and auto- matically stops each time the trigger switch is depressed while tightening a screw. The driver will give impact about 5 times and automatically stop while tightening a bolt even though the trigger switch is depressed. The one-shot impact function is also available in reverse rotation. The impact force is set by the impact power mode select and digital clutch settings. NOTE: ∗ The one-shot impact function operates after impact. Over-tightening may occur when tightening screws into soft materi

als as the tool does not impact. Using the one-shot impact function When the trigger switch is released and it is depressed fully within 1 sec., one-shot impact func

tion operate. Then the one-shot impact LED light will blink. Wait at least 1 sec. after trigger is released, not to operate the one-shot impact function. Keeping the bit head to the screw head to use this function. When the screw is sticking up quite a ways, increase the clutch setting. Using the one-shot impact function continuously

that matches the application. To set the one-shot impact function, press the but

) turns on. Depress the trigger switch fully to adjust the screw tightening until the one-shot impact func- tion operates. The amount of screw fasten

ing rotation by one-shot impact will differ depending on the impact power mode and digital clutch settings. To turn off the one- shot impact function, press the button (

once more then light (

) turns off. Digital Clutch The digital clutch automatically stops the driver rotation when the load is reached to the select setting. Depress the trigger switch fully to tighten the screws until the digital clutch operates. If the screw head is not flush to the material surface, release the trigger switch and then within 1 sec. depress it again. This will operate the one- shot impact function. To select digital clutch setting. Refer to the guideline table and check the application. (See p.11.) Press the impact power mode button to set the impact power mode. (See p.6.) Press the digital clutch setting buttons and select the setting to match the application. The digital clutch setting increases each time (+) button is pressed. The setting decreases each time (

) button is pressed. Digital clutch setting range Setting is available from 1 to 16 stages to match the application. Full power Keep pressing the and button 0.6 sec. or more will automatically shift the setting to “F”. (Digital clutch is turned off in the each impact power mode.) Turn off the digital clutch. Press the digital clutch setting button to change the setting to “F.” NOTE: When selecting the digital clutch set- ting, first start at a low setting and a soft impact mode. Then gradually select to higher settings. Try on a scrap piece of the material to determine the best set- ting beforehand. Too high setting could result in over-tightening of the screws. Keep the trigger switch fully depressed while tightening one screw to operate the digital clutch. Do not release the trig- ger switch until digital clutch operates. The clutch setting remains the same when the driver is changed from for- ward to reverse rotation while the clutch is set. To drive in reverse at full power, change the clutch setting display to “F” and turn off the digital clutch.-

The driver is preset to “F” full power (digital clutch is off) and the one-shot impact function is off when shipped from the manufacture. CAUTION: When the clutch is set to 1 or 2 stage, the impact power mode is automatically set at “Soft” impact mode regardless of the impact power mode select display setting. When the clutch is set to 3 or 4 stage, the impact power mode is automatically set at “Medium” impact mode even in the “Hard” impact mode display setting. Clutch setting and operating impact force Impact Power Mode Display Soft Medium Hard

Important remarks when using the digital clutch and one shot impact functions The digital clutch setting could be used only as a guideline. The suitable setting will vary depending on the hardness of the material, the force being applied to the tool, and the type of screw. Uneven material hardness could result in less-tightening or over-tightening depend

ing on the position on the material. If the battery pack capacity is low, the driver might not fully tighten the screws. Usage When driving screws into wood, use the screws of less than 90 mm long and avoid knots of wood materials. Be sure to set the impact power mode and digital clutch to match the material and screws being used. When selecting the digital clutch settings, start from low to high stage while check

ing the setting (on a scrap piece of the material) to determine the best setting. Too high setting could result in over-tight

ening of the screws. Depress the trigger switch fully when using the digital clutch and/or one-shot impact function during one period of operation. Using low speed by trigger switch could result in a discrepancy in work results. When using the digital clutch, depress the trigger switch fully until the digital clutch operates. Do not release the switch until the rotation stops. Releasing the switch to stop rotation before finishing tighten

ing a screw could result in not being fully tightened. (If this happens, start from the beginning of fastening.) Applications not recommend- ed for these functions Tightening screws into easily breakable materials, such as thin plastics. Tightening screws into lightweight steel sheet which thickness is 0.8 mm or less. Tightening TEKS screws into soft surface materials, such as interior finishing mate

rials. Reason: The impact function is a mechanical sideway impact. The tight

ening torque increases instantly step by step when the hammer impacts. There

fore, fastening torque of impact driver is not generally increased as a drill driver. (The accuracy also varies depending on the material.)

Tightening time Number of impacts Impact torque curve Tightening torque (load) Drill driver torque increase. Setting value Impact torque curve To control the tightening torque for screws and bolts during factory manufacturing and assembly. Reason: The digital clutch uses a sen- sor and microcomputer to deduce the load from the number of motor rotation between impacts and then stop the rotation when the load reaches to the set clutch load. To deduce this load requires at least 4 or 5 impacts, This is not suitable for materials which requires a low tightening load, as impact may not occur 4 or 5 times.-

The digital clutch cannot operate accu- rately when the connecting surface materi

al is soft and the fixing base sheet is hard. Example applications for which it cannot be used; Attaching gypsum board on hard wood. Tightening screws with different lengths, diameters, thread pitches, etc., even if they are the same type of screw. For Appropriate use of Battery pack Ni-MH Battery pack (EY9201)

Charge the Ni-MH battery fully before stor- age in order to ensure a longer service life.

• The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F), the tool may fail to function properly. In that case, charge the battery until charging is complet

ed for appropriate functioning of the battery.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a con

nection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.

• When operating with a Ni-MH battery pack, make sure the place is well-ventilated. Battery Pack Life The rechargeable batteries have a lim- ited life. If the operation time becomes extremely short after recharging, replace the battery pack with a new one. Battery Recycling ATTENTION: For environmental protection and recy- cling of materials, be sure that it is dis

posed of at an officially assigned loca

tion, if there is one in your country. Charging NOTE: When you charge the battery pack for the first time, or after prolonged stor

age, charge it for about 24 hours to bring the battery up to full capacity. Battery charger (EY0110)

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

NOTE: Sparks may be produced when the plug is inserted into the AC power supply, but this is not a problem in terms of safety.

Insert the battery pack firmly into the charger. Battery pack Battery charger To AC outlet

During charging, the charging lamp will be lit. When charging is completed, an internal electronic switch will automatically be trig

gered to prevent overcharging.

• Charging will not start if the battery pack is warm (for example, immediately after heavy-duty operation). The orange standby lamp will be lit until the battery cools down. Charging will then begin automatically.

When charging is completed, the charging lamp will start flashing quickly in green color.

5. When in any of the conditions that battery

pack is too cool, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time, the charging lamp is lit. In this case charging takes longer to fully charge the battery pack, than the standard charging time.

• If a fully charged battery pack is insert- ed into the charger again, the charging lamp lights up. After several minutes, the charging lamp may flash quickly to indicate the charging is completed.

If the charging lamp does not light imme- diately after the charger is plugged in, or if after the standard charging time the lamp does not go off, consult an authorized dealer. NOTE:

• When charging a cool battery pack (below 5°C (41°F)) in a warm place, leave the battery pack at the place and wait for more than one hour to warm up the battery to the level of the ambient temperature. Otherwise battery pack may not be fully charged.

Cool down the charger when charging more than two battery packs consecutively.

VI.TIGHTENING TORQUE The power required for tightening a bolt will vary, according to bolt material and size, as well as the material being bolted. Choose the length of tightening time accordingly.Reference values are provided below.(They may vary according to tightening conditions.) Factors Affecting Tightening Torque The tightening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the followings. After tightening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.1) VoltageWhen the battery pack becomes nearly discharged, the voltage decreases and the tightening torque drops. Bolt Tightening Conditions

Tightening time (Sec.) Tightening torque

gf-cm) Bolt Nut Washer Steel plate thickness10mm(3/8") Washer Spring washer Tightening conditions• The following bolts are used. Standard bolts: Strength type 6.8 High tensile type 12.9 Explanation of the strength type

Bolt yield point (80% of tenslie strength)

2) Tightening timeLonger tightening time results in increased tightening torque. Excessive tightening, however, adds no value and reduces the life of the tool.3) Different bolt diametersThe size of the bolt diameter affects the tightening torque.Generally, as the bolt diameter increases, tightening torque rises.4) Tightening conditions Tightening torque will vary, even with the same bolt, according to grade, length, and torque coefficient (the fixed coefficient indi-cated by the manufacturer upon production). Tightening torque will vary , even with the same bolting material (e.g. steel), according to the surface finish. Torque is greatly reduced when the bolt and nut start turning together.5) Socket playTorque is lowered as the six-sided configu-ration of the socket of the wrong size is used to tighten a bolt.6) Switch (Variable speed control trigger) Torque is lowered if the unit is used with the switch not fully pulled out.7) Effect of Connecting Adaptor The tightening torque will be lowered through the use of a universal joint or a connecting adaptor.
