For tools with retracting sleeve
To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will
go. Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out firmly.
For tools without retracting sleeve
To install the bit, just insert the bit into the spindle as far
as it will go. To remove the bit, pull the bit out firmly.
OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt
or nut. Then switch the tool on. When the clutch cuts
in, the motor will stop automatically. Then release the
switch trigger.
NOTE:
•
Hold the tool with its square drive pointed
straight at the bolt or nut, or the bolt or nut will
be damaged.
Limits of fastening capacity
Use the tool within the range of the revolution angle up
to 360°. If you use the tool beyond the upper limit of this
range, the clutch does not work. And the tool cannot
deliver enough fastening torque (LED flickers in red and
green alternatively).
NOTE:
•
The revolution angle means the angle which
a screw/bolt revolves when the tool attains to
100% from 50% of desired torque.
•
Use of a low temperature conditioned battery
cartridge may sometimes give warning for
battery cartridge capacity by warning lamp and
beeper which makes the tool stop immediately.
In this case, the fastening capacity may be
inferior to the specification on this manual even
if a charged battery cartridge is used.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
