1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost com-
pletely,voltage will drop and the fastening torq ue will be
reduced.
2. Driverbit or socket bit
Failureto use the correct size driver bit or socket bit will
cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
• Even though the torque coefficientand the class of
bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will
differacc ording to the diameter of bolt.
• Eventh ough the diameters of bolts are the same, the
proper fastening torque will differ according to the
torque coefficient, the class 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 reduction 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.
Tomaintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using
