Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under the
head of the fastener affects the degree of tightness.
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages
75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on
the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a
relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench
for final tightening.

Warning
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing acces
-
sories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
Warning
To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: for-
ward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism,
the control switch can only be adjusted when the ON/
OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the motor to
come to a complete stop before using the control switch.
1. For
forward
(clockwise) rotation, push the control
switch in the direction shown. Check the direction
of rotation before use.
2. For
reverse
(counterclockwise) rotation, push the
control switch in the direction shown. Check the
direction of rotation before use.
3. To
lock
the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. The trigger will not work when the
control switch is in the locked position.
Always remove the battery pack before performing
maintenance, changing accessories, storing the
tool and any time the tool is not in use.
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spin-
dles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger,
motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
If the tool does not start or operate at full power
with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts
on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work
properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack,
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents.
Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or
grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain
cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Some of these include
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house-
hold detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and
charger to the nearest service center.
Warning
To reduce the risk of per
-
sonal injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to flow inside them.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
This tool may be operated at any speed from 0 to
full speed.
1. To
start
the tool, pull the trigger. NOTE: An LED
is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
2. To
vary
the driving speed, simply increase or
decrease pressure on the trigger. The further the
trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To
stop
the tool, release the trigger and the electric
brake stops the tool instantly.
Impacting Techniques
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the tighter
it will become. To help prevent damaging the fasteners
or workpieces, avoid excessive impacting. Be particu-
larly careful when impacting smaller fasteners because
they require less impacting to reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of
time required to reach the desired torque. Check the
tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasteners
are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are not
tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
After six months to one year, depending on use,
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and remove the
battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool, battery pack or charger.
