4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt under impact

The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts differs with material and
size of the nuts or bolts. An excessively large tightening torque for a small
bolt may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque increases in
proportion to the operaton time. Use the correct operating time for the bolt.

5. Holding the tool

Hold the impact wrench firmly with both hands. 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.

6. 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) Voltage

When the discharge margin is reached, voltage decreases and tightening
torque is lowered.

(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.

(3) Diameter of bolt

The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the bolt

. 

Generally a larger

diameter bolt requires 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 workpiece
through which the bolts are to be tightened. When the bolt and nut turn
together, torque is greatly reduced.

(5) Using optional parts (WR14DBDL / WR18DBDL)

The tightening torque is reduced a little when an extension bar, universal
joint or a long socket is used.

(6) Clearance of the socket (WR14DBDL / WR18DBDL)

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.

(7) Tightening torque varies, depending on the battery’s charge level.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the driver bit (WH14DBDL / WH18DBDL)

Using a broken bit or one with a worn out tip is dangerous because the bit
can slip. Replace it.

2. Inspecting the socket (WR14DBDL / WR18DBDL)

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 a socket holes periodically,
and replace with a new one if needed.

3. 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 may result in serious hazard.

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.

5. Cleaning of the outside

When the impact driver is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth
moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint
thinner, as they melt plastics.

6. Storage

Store the impact driver in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C,
and out of reach of children.

NOTE:

Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored for a long period (3
months or more). The battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be
charged when used, if stored for a long period.

7. Service parts list
CAUTION

Repair, modification and inspection of Hitachi Power Tools must be
carried out by a Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
This Parts List will be helpful if presented with the tool to the Hitachi
Authorized Service Center when requesting repair or other maintenance.
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations
and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.

MODIFICATIONS

Hitachi Power Tools are constantly being improved and modified to
incorporate the latest technological advancements.
Accordingly, some parts may be changed without prior notice.

Important notice on the batteries for the Hitachi cordless power tools
