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.

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 near-
ly discharged, the voltage decreases and
the tightening torque drops.

) Tightening time
Longer tightening time results in increased
tightening torque. Excessive tightening,
however, adds no value and reduces the
life of the tool.
3) Different bolt diameters
The size of the bolt diameter affects the
tightening 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).
