2.
To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit-piece and bit into the sleeve
as far as it will go. The bit-piece should be inserted
into the sleeve with its pointed end facing in. Then
release the sleeve to secure the bit. (Fig. 11)
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out firmly.
NOTE:
• If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve,
the sleeve will not return to its original position and the
bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the
bit according to the instructions above.
OPERATION
(Fig. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17)
[*1] Presetting number of impacts is impossible for more
than 200 impacts (4 seconds).
[*2] Fastening time includes when you pull the trigger
completely.
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon
the kind or size of the screw/bolt, the material of the
workpiece to be fastened, etc. The relation between
fastening torque, fastening time and number of impacts
(presetting number) is shown in the figures.
Hold the tool firmly and place the point of the driver bit in
the screw head. Apply forward pressure to the tool to the
extent that the bit will not slip off the screw and turn the
tool on to start operation.
NOTE:
• Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt that
you wish to use.
• Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw.
• If you tighten the screw for a time longer than shown in
the figures, the screw or the point of the driver bit may
be overstressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before
starting your job, always perform a test operation to
determine the proper fastening time for your screw.
• 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.
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.
Driver bit or socket bit
Failure to use the correct size driver bit or socket bit
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 fastening torque will
differ according to the diameter 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
reduction 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.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 18)
Use a screwdriver to remove two screws then remove
the rear cover. (Fig. 19)
Raise the arm part of the spring and then place it in the
recessed part of the housing with a slotted bit
screwdriver of slender shaft or the like. (Fig. 20)
Use pliers to remove the carbon brush cap of the carbon
brushes. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the
new ones and replace the carbon brush cap in reverse.
(Fig. 21)
Make sure to place the lead wire in opposite side of the
arm. (Fig. 22)
Put the lead wires between the spacer and the side of
brush holder. (Fig. 23)
Make sure that the carbon brush caps fit into the holes in
brush holders securely. (Fig. 24)
Reinstall the rear cover and tighten two screws securely.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
