3. Use a tightening time suitable for the screw
The appropriate torque for a screw differs according to
the material and size of the screw, and the material
being screwed etc., so please use a tightening time
suitable for the screw. In particular, if a long tightening
time is used in the case of screws smaller than M8, there
is a danger of the screw breaking, so please confirm the
tightening time and the tightening torque beforehand.
4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt
under impact
The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts differs
with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An
excessively large tightening torque for a small bolt
may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque
increases in proportion to the operation time. Use
the correct operating time for the bolt.
5. Confirm the tightening torque
The following factors contribute to a reduction of the
tightening torque. So confirm the actual tightening
torque needed by screwing up some bolts before the
job with a hand torque wrench. Factors affecting the
tightening torque are as follows.
(1) Voltage
When the discharge margin is reached, voltage
decreases and tightening torque is lowered.
(2) Operating time
The tightening torque increases when the operating
time increases. But the tightening torque does not
increase above a certain value even if the tool is
driven for a long time.
(3) Diameter of bolt
The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the
bolt. Generally a larger diameter bolt requires larger
tightening torque.
(4) Tightening conditions
The tightening torque differs according to the torque
ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with
the same size threads are used. The tightening torque
also differs according to the condition of the surface
of workpiece through which the bolts are to be
tightened. When the bolt and nut turn together, torque
is greatly reduced.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the driver bit
Using a broken bit or one with a worn out tip is
dangerous because the bit can slip. Replace it.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Cleaning of the outside
When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry
cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not
use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for
they melt plastics.
5. Storage
Store the driver drill in a place in which the
temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
