3. Selecting the socket to be matched to the bolt
Be sure to use a socket which is matched to the
bolt to be tightened. Using an improper socket will
result not only in insufficient tightening but also in
damage to the socket or nut.
A worn or deformed hex or square-holed socket will
not give an adequate tightness for fitting to the nut
or anvil, consequently resulting in loss of tightening
torque.
Pay attention to wear of socket holes, and replace
before further wear developes. Matching socket and
bolt sizes are shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3.
The numerical value of a socket designation denotes
the side to side distance (S) of its hex hole.
4. Holding the tool
Hold the Impact Wrench firmly with both hands by
the body handle and the side handle. In this case
hold the wrench in line with the bolt.
It is not necessary to push the wrench very hard.
Hold the wrench with a force just sufficient to
counteract the impact force.
5. Confirm the tightening torque
The following factors contribute to a reduction of
the tightening torque. So confirm the actual
tightening torque needed by screwing up some
bolts before the job with a hand torque wrench.
Factors affecting the tightening torque are as follows.
(1) Line voltage:
The tightening torque decreases when the line
voltage becomes low. (See Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8)
(2) Operating time:
The tightening torque increases when the operating
time increases. But the tightening torque does not
increase above a certain value even if the tool is
driven for a long time. (See Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8)
(3) Diameter of bolt:
The tightening torque differs with the diameter of
the bolt as shown in Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. Generally
a larger diameter bolt has a larger tightening torque.
(4) Tightening conditions:
The tightening torque differs according to the torque
ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts
with the same size threads are used. The tightening
torque also differs according to the condition of the
surface of metal through which the bolts are to be
tightened.
(5) Using optional parts:
The tightening torque is reduced a little when an
extension bar, universal joint or a long socket is
used.
(6) Clearance of the socket:
A worn or deformed hex or a square-holed socket
will not give an adequate tightness to the fitting
between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in
loss of tightening torque.
Using an improper socket which does not match
to the bolt will result in an insufficient tightening
torque. Matching socket and bolt sizes are shown
in Tables 1, 2 and 3.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the socket
A worn or deformed hex or a square-holed socket
will not give an adequate tightness to the fitting
between the nut or anvil, consequently resulting in
loss of tightening torque. Pay attention to wear of
socket holes periodically, and replace with a new
one if needed.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 9)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brush with a new one having the same carbon
brush No. shown in the figure when it becomes
worn to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they
slide freely within the brush holders.
Replacing the carbon brush
Loosen the set screw and remove the cap cover.
Remove the brush cap and carbon brush. After
replacing the carbon brush, do not forget to tighten
the brush cap securely and to install the cap cover.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
