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. • When fastening screw M8 or smaller, carefully adjust pressure on the switch trigger so that the screw is not damaged. • 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. 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.

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. Using holster CAUTION: • Do not use for tools such as a drill with a bit installed on them. • Turn off a tool and wait until it comes to a complete stop before placing in the holster. Be sure to close the holster securely so that it holds the tool firmly. Thread a waist belt or similar through holster holder. Put the tool in the holster and lock it with the holster button. 6

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.
When fastening screw M8 or smaller, carefully
adjust pressure on the switch trigger so that the
screw is not damaged.
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.
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.
Using holster
CAUTION:
Do not use for tools such as a drill with a bit
installed on them.
Turn off a tool and wait until it comes to a complete
stop before placing in the holster.
Be sure to close the holster securely so that it
holds the tool firmly.
Thread a waist belt or similar through holster holder.
Put the tool in the holster and lock it with the holster
button.
