Using the Tool
Your impact tool can generate the following
maximum torque:
Ft.-Lbs.
DCF888 152
nOTE: Tool Connect™ custom speed settings will affect the
maximum torque output of the tool. Speeds lower than the
Home setting generally result in lower maximum torque.

CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will
withstand the level of torque generated by the tool.
Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible
personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press trigger switch 1 to start operation. Release switch
to stop operation. Always check torque with a torque
wrench, as the fastening torque is affected by many
factors including the following:
Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged
-
battery, will reduce fastening torque.
- Accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory
size will cause a reduction in fastening torque.
- Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require
higher fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary
according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
- Bolt: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other
debris to allow proper fastening torque.
- Material: The type of material and surface finish of the
material will affect fastening torque.

- Fastening time: Longer fasten ing time results in
increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening
time than recommended could cause the fasteners
to be overstressed, stripped or damaged.
