extent that the bit will not slip off the screw and turn the
tool on to start operation.
NOTE:
•
Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt
that you wish to use.
•
When fastening screw M8 or smaller, choose a
proper hammer force and carefully adjust pressure
on the switch trigger so that the screw is not
damaged.
•
Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
•
If the hammering force is too strong you tighten the
screw for a time longer than shown in the figures,
the screw or the point of the driver bit may be
overstressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before
starting your job, always perform a test operation
to determine the proper fastening time for your
screw.
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.
Driver bit or socket bit
Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket
bit 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 manner of holding the tool or the material of
driving position to be fastened will affect the
torque.
5. 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 except for the
following troubleshooting related to the light.
Cleaning
From time to time wipe off the outside (tool body) of the
tool using a cloth dampened in soapy water.
CAUTION:
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Troubleshooting
Trouble
Light status/LED indicator status/tool status
Steps to be taken
The tool stops
during operation.
LED indicator for empty signal for
remaining battery capacity lights up.
Light flickers once per second.
Light flickers five times per second.
Switch trigger has been pulled
continuously for more than 130 seconds.
Other Symptoms
When the status is still unchanged, stop
using and have the tool repaired by a
Makita local service center.
Cool down it fully. The tool restarts after its
temperature becomes low.
Remaining battery capacity level is low.
Charge the battery cartridge.
When the LED indicator still lights up
even after charging the battery cartridge,
the tool temperature is high.
The tool temperature is high. Cool down
it fully. The tool restarts after its temperature
becomes low.
If the motor still remains locked, stop using
and have the tool repaired by a Makita
local service center.
(When the tool has stopped due to the
motor locking, withdraw the battery
cartridge one time and then insert it again
or release the switch trigger for more than
60 seconds to restart the tool.)
Use the tool with the motor not locked.
Release the switch trigger.
Stop using and have the tool repaired by
a Makita local service center.
