13. How to select tightening torque and rotational speed
CAUTION
The selection examples shown in Table 6 should be considered as general standard. As different types of
tightening screws and different materials to be tightened are used in actual works proper adjustments are
naturally necessary.
Use
Machine screw
Driving
Wood screw
Wood
Drilling
Metal
NOTE:
The use of the battery BSL1415X and BSL1815X in
a cold condition (below 0 degree Centigrade) can
sometimes result in the weakened tightening
torque and reduced amount of work. This,
however, is a temporary phenomenon, and returns
to normal when the battery warms up.
