FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Installing or removing battery cartridge

► Fig.1: 1. Red indicator 2. Button 3. Battery cartridge

To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator as shown in the figure, it is not locked completely.

Tool / battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:

Overload protection
When the battery is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically stops without any indication. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.

Overheat protection
When the tool/battery is overheated, the tool stops automatically. In this situation, let the tool/battery cool before turning the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops automatically. In this case, remove the battery from the tool and charge the battery.

Checking the remaining battery capacity (BL1460A)

Fig.2: 1. Indicator lamps 2. Check button

When charging

When the charging begins, the first (far left) indicating lamp begins to blink. Then, as charging proceeds, the other lamps light, one after the other, to indicate the battery capacity.

When charging
When the tool is switched on, the lamps will light to indicate the remaining battery capacity. When the tool is switched off, the light goes out after approx. 5 seconds. When pushing the check button with the tool switched off, the indicator lamps turn on for approx. 5 seconds to show battery capacity.
If the orange lamp blinks, the tool stops because of little remaining battery capacity (Auto-stop mechanism). Charge the battery cartridge or use a charged battery cartridge at this time. When the tool is used with the battery that has not been used for a long time and is switched on, no lamps may light up. The tool stops because of little remaining battery capacity at this time. Charge the battery properly.

OPERATION

► Fig.17

The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of factors including the following. After fastening, always check the torque with a torque wrench.

1. When the battery cartridge is discharged almost completely, voltage will drop and the fastening torque will be reduced.
2. Impact socket
   • Failure to use the correct size impact socket will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
   • A worn impact socket (wear on the hex end or square end) will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
3. Bolt
   • Even though the torque coefficient and the class of bolt are the same, the proper fastening torque will differ according to the diameter of bolt.
   • Even though 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 use of the universal joint or the extension bar somewhat reduces the fastening force of the impact wrench. Compensate by fastening for a longer period of time.
5. The manner of holding the tool or the material of driving position to be fastened will affect the torque.
6. Operating the tool at low speed will cause a reduction in the fastening torque.
