the screw or the point of the driver bit may be over-
stressed, stripped, damaged, etc. Before starting your

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
• Eventhoughthetorquecoefcientandthe
class of bolt are the same, the proper fasten-
ing torque will differ according to the diame-
ter of bolt.
• Even though the diameters of bolts are the
same, the proper fastening torque will differ
accordingtothetorquecoefcient,theclass
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 reduc-
tion 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.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
