Maintenance Tips

• Keep It Clean: After use, wipe dust, grease, and debris from the tool body and metal gear housing to maintain smooth operation and prevent buildup.

• Inspect Fastening Sleeves: Regularly check the inner and outer sleeves for wear or damage; replace if worn to ensure accurate bolt engagement and reliable performance.

• Battery Best Practices: Charge the included 40V Max XGT 4.0Ah battery before fully drained, avoid overcharging, and store batteries in a cool, dry place to prolong life and consistent torque delivery.

• Check Electrical Contacts: Periodically clean electrical contacts and ensure snug battery seating to maintain reliable power transfer and communication.

• Test Electric Brake: Verify the electric brake operates correctly — fast stopping improves safety and productivity when repositioning between bolts.

• Bolt Tip Ejector: Keep the bolt tip eject lever clear of debris so broken tips eject smoothly without jamming.
