● Operating speeds – Operating the product at low speeds
causes a reduction in fastening torques.
● Fastening position – Holding the product or the driving
fastener in various angles affects the torque.
● Drive accessory/socket – Failure to use the correct size
accessory or socket, or a non-impact rated accessory, may
cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
● Use of accessories and extensions – Depending on the
accessory or extension, fitment can reduce the fastening
force of the impact wrench.
● Bolt/Nut – Fastening torques may differ according to the
diameter of the nut or bolt, the class of nut/bolt, and the
length of nut/bolt.
● Condition of the fastener – Contaminated, corroded, dry, or
lubricated fasteners may vary the fastening torques.
● Condition and base material – The base material of the
fastener and any component in between the surfaces may
affect the fastening torque (dry or lubricated base, soft or
hard base, disc, seal, or washer between fastener and
base material).
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should
be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine
(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, after use, the battery packs have to
be fully charged.
To obtain the longest-possible battery life, remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
● Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
27°C and away from moisture.
● Store the battery packs in a 30%–50% charged condition.
● Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit
situations that cause high current draw, the product vibrates for
about 2 seconds and then the product turns off.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery could become too high. If this happens, the battery
shuts down.
Place the battery on the charger to charge and reset it.
