Maintenance - DeWalt DCF886 Instruction Manual

Usage
Your impact tool can generate the following maximum torque:
Cat # Ft.-Lbs.
DCF886 125
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 switch 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.
