Characteristics of Cordless Oil-impulse Driver
The Makita Cordless Oil-impulse Driver is a hydraulically
operated impact tool using oil viscosity to produce impacts.
Since oil viscosity changes with the temperature, be aware of
the following two points when operating the tool.
1. Avoid using the tool below -10 ºC (14 ºF) of
temperature. When the tool temperature goes
down below the degrees, this may cause damage
to the motor of tool due to poor impulse.
2. When the tool becomes too hot, it may take
longer to set screws.
3. The tool can overheat, causing a failure or hand
burn if you operate it continuously for long hours.
Let the tool cool off for more than 30 minutes
before changing
continuous job.
