NOTE:
• During the operation of switch trigger, the impact force
grade cannot be changed.
Changing the torque setting (screwdriver
mode)
The fastening torque can be adjusted by pressing the
button in screwdriver mode.
The numbers on the LED display shows torque setting.
The fastening torque is minimum at the number 1 and
maximum at the number 9. The indication "P" is a special
mode for fastening self drilling screws.
Every time the button
changes from 1 to 9 and P, and then returns to 1.
The torque setting changes fast by keeping pressing the
button.
P mode is suitable for fastening self drilling screws into
steel plates in the following conditions.
• With speed change lever at "2" side, fastening max.
4 mm screw into total max. 3.2 mm steel plates.
• With speed change lever at "1" side, fastening max.
5 mm screw.
Before an actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular application.
First, try to fasten the screw at "1". Then increase the
number to continue fastening. Hold the tool firmly during
operation.
CAUTION:
• Don't fasten the machine screw on P mode. It may
twist your wrist suddenly and result in personal injury.
NOTE:
• Make sure to check the number on LED display before
operation. If the number is not indicated, contact your
nearest Makita service center.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low in the
screwdriver mode, the light flashes a few times when
fastening the screw completely. In this case, recharge
the battery. If you keep operating, you may not obtain
the desired torque.
• During pulling the switch trigger, the torque setting can-
not be changed.
• For approximately one minute after releasing the
switch trigger, the torque setting can be changed. If you
want to change the torque setting after that, pull the
switch trigger again.
• The number of torque setting does not mean specific
torque rate.
