0 – 3000 i.p.m./ | ||
Tightening M8 and larger | ||
0 – 3300 i.p.m./ | ||
bolts | ||
0 – 3500 i.p.m. | Tightening long screws | |
| during interior finishing work | |
M | Jobs requiring limited torque | |
where there is a possibility of | ||
the screw breaking or its top | ||
| shearing off. (This setting limits | |
| torque.) Suitable applications | |
0 – 1400 r.p.m. | include: | |
and | Tightening bolts with | |
smaller diameters (M6) | ||
0 – 2800 i.p.m. | ||
Tightening metalwork | ||

where there is a possibility | ||
of the screw breaking, its | ||
| top shearing off, or the bit | |

| a finished exterior surface. | |
0 – 1000 r.p.m. | (This setting limits torque.) | |
Suitable applications include: | ||

* i.p.m. = Impact per minute.
Avoid repeatedly depressing the switch when the bolts and screws are securely fastened.
Not doing so may cause a delay in rotation starting, or the Impact Power mode display to flash and prevent rotation from starting for circuit protection.

The overheating protection feature halts driver operation to protect the motor and battery pack in the event of overheating. The overheat warning lamp on the control panel flashes when this feature is active.
•If the overheating protection feature acti- vates, allow the driver to cool thoroughly (at least 30 minutes). The driver is ready for use when the overheat warning lamp goes out.
•Avoid using the driver in a way that causes the overheating protection fea- ture to activate repeatedly.
