5. Use an optional adjusting grip to adjust the fastening

torque. Insert the pin of the adjusting grip into the hole

in the front of the tool. And then, turn the adjusting grip

clockwise to set a greater fastening torque, and coun-

terclockwise to set a smaller fastening torque.

6. Align the yellow line with your desired number on the

fastening torque scale.

7. Insert the battery cartridge and be sure that a fasten-

ing torque has been set up by using a fastening torque

tester.

8. Rotate the ring in front of the tool and then tighten the

screw to secure the ring.

NOTE:

• Numbers on the fastening torque scale is a guideline to

set up your desired fastening torque.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work

on the tool.

Installing or removing driver bit or socket bit

(Fig. 9 & 10)

Use only the driver bit or socket bit shown in the figure.

Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit.

To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the

arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will go.

Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.

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

Screwdriving operation (Fig. 11)

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and

apply pressure to the tool. Then switch the tool on. When

the clutch cuts in, the motor will stop automatically. Then

release the switch trigger.

NOTE:

• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the

screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

Limits of fastening capacity

Use the tool within the range of the revolution angle up to

360°. If you use the tool beyond the upper limit of this

range, the clutch does not work. And the tool cannot

deliver enough fastening torque (LED indicator flickers in

red and green alternatively).

NOTE:

• The revolution angle means the angle which a screw/

bolt revolves when the tool attains to 100% from 50%

of desired torque.

• Use of a low temperature conditioned battery cartridge

may sometimes give warning for battery cartridge

capacity by warning lamp and beeper which makes the

tool stop immediately. In this case, the fastening capac-

ity may be inferior to the specification on this manual

even if a charged battery cartridge is used.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery 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 (Fig. 12 & 13)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.

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.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-

formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
