 Fastening time (second) 

2.

 Fastening torque

NOTE:

 Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut.

NOTE:

 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.

NOTE:

 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.

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 fasten-

ing torque will differ according to the diame-

ter 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 reduc-

tion 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.

NOTICE:

 

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, 

alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or 

cracks may result.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, 

repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should 

be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service 

Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
