For socket with O-ring and pin (Fig. 3)
Move the O-ring out of the groove in the socket and
remove the pin from the socket. Fit the socket onto the
anvil of the tool so that the hole in the socket is aligned
with the hole in the anvil. Insert the pin through the hole
in the socket and anvil. Then return the O-ring to the orig-
inal position in the socket groove to retain the pin. To
remove the socket, follow the installation procedures in
reverse.
OPERATION
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon
the kind or size of the bolt, the material of the workpiece
to be fastened, etc. The relation between fastening
torque and fastening time is shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.
Hold the tool firmly and place the socket over the bolt or
nut. Turn the tool on and fasten for the proper fastening
time.
NOTE:
• When fastening screw M12 or smaller, carefully adjust
pressure on the switch trigger so that the screw is not
damaged.
• Hold the tool pointed straight at the bolt or nut without
applying excessive pressure on the tool.
• If you fasten the bolt for a time longer than shown in the
figures, the bolt or the socket may be overstressed,
damaged, etc. Before starting your job, always perform
a test operation to determine the proper fastening time
for your bolt. Especially for the bolt other than M12, per-
form the above test operation to prevent the trouble on
socket or bolt, etc.
The fastening torque is affected by a wide variety of fac-
tors including the following. After fastening, always check
the torque with a torque wrench.
1. Voltage
• Voltage drop will cause a reduction in the fastening
torque.
2. Socket
• Failure to use the correct size socket will cause a
reduction in the fastening torque.
• A worn 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 the 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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 6)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 7)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode: impact tightening of fasteners of the
maximum capacity of the tool
Vibration emission (a

• The declared vibration emission value has been mea-
sured in accordance with the standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the oper-
ator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
