2) Tightening time

Longer tightening time results in increased

tightening torque. Excessive tightening,

how ever, adds no value and reduces the

life of the tool.

3) Different bolt diameters

The size of the bolt diameter affects the

tight ening torque.

Generally, as the bolt diameter increases,

tightening torque rises.

4) Tightening conditions

• Tightening torque will vary, even with the

same bolt, according to grade, length, and

torque coefficient (the fixed coefficient indi-

cated by the manufacturer upon produc-

tion).

MAINTENANCE

• Use only a dry, soft cloth for wiping the unit.

Do not use a damp cloth, thinner, benzine, or

other volatile solvents for cleaning.

• In the event that the inside of the tool or

battery pack is exposed to water, drain and

allow to dry as soon as possible. Carefully

remove any dust or iron filings that collect

inside the tool. If you experience any

problems operating the tool, consult with a

repair shop.

VII. TIGHTENING

TORQUE

The power required for tightening a bolt will

vary, according to bolt material and size, as

well as the material being bolted. Choose

the length of tightening time accordingly.

Reference values are provided below.

(They may vary according to tightening

conditions.)

Factors Affecting Tighten-

ing Torque

The tightening torque is affected by a wide

variety of factors including the followings.

After tightening, always check the torque

with a torque wrench.

1) Voltage

When the battery pack becomes nearly

discharged, the voltage decreases and the

tightening torque drops.
