torque gauge shows the desired torque by one of the
numbers from 5 to 12.
approximate fastening torque in Newton-meter (N•m).
After completion of the adjustment, always make trial
fastening about twenty times in order to keep stability of
torque. Then, check the fastening torque with a torque
tester before starting operation.

cartridge capacity by LED indicator and beeper
which makes the tool stop immediately. In this case,
the range of fastening capacity may be inferior to
those shown in the above even if a charged battery
