This document is an instruction manual for Makita Cordless Impact Wrenches, covering models XWT07, XWT08, XWT09, XWT07XV, XWT08XV, and XWT09XV. It provides essential information regarding the tool's function, technical specifications, usage, and maintenance.
The Makita Cordless Impact Wrench is designed for fastening applications, specifically for bolts and nuts. It operates on a D.C. 18V battery system and utilizes an impact mechanism to deliver high torque for efficient fastening. The tool features a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) and an impact force adjustment system, allowing users to select between hard, medium, and soft impact modes to suit different fastening requirements. Some models can also be adapted for drilling with specific drill bit/socket adapters. The tool is equipped with an electric brake for quick stopping and a front lamp for illuminating the work area. A battery protection system is integrated to prevent damage from overdischarge, overheating, and overcurrent.
The specifications vary slightly across the different models:
Fastening Capacities:
Square Drive:
No Load Speed (RPM):
Impacts per Minute:
Overall Length: 229 mm (9")
Rated Voltage: D.C. 18 V
Standard Battery Cartridge: Compatible with various BL18xx series Makita Lithium-ion batteries (e.g., BL1815N, BL1820, BL1820B, BL1830, BL1830B, BL1840, BL1840B, BL1850, BL1850B, BL1860B).
Net Weight (with battery cartridge):
The manual emphasizes that specifications and battery cartridges may differ by country and are subject to change due to ongoing research and development.
Battery Installation and Removal: The battery cartridge slides into the tool until it locks in place. A red indicator on the button's upper side signals if it's not fully locked. To remove, slide the button on the front of the cartridge.
Switch Action: The tool is activated by pulling the switch trigger, with speed increasing with pressure. Releasing the trigger stops the tool. The tool automatically stops after approximately 6 minutes of continuous pulling.
Reversing Switch: A lever changes the rotation direction. Depressing it from side A results in clockwise rotation, and from side B, counterclockwise. The switch should only be operated when the tool is completely stopped. When not in use, it should be set to the neutral position to prevent accidental starting.
Impact Force Adjustment: The impact force can be adjusted in three steps (hard, medium, soft) by pressing a dedicated button. This allows for precise tightening suitable for various tasks. The impact force setting can be changed for approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger.
Impact Socket Installation:
Drill Bit/Socket Adapter Installation (XWT09, XWT09XV): For models with a hex drive shank, a specific drill bit/socket adapter (11.2 mm / 7/16") can be used. Pull the sleeve, insert the drill bit fully, and release the sleeve to secure it.
Front Lamp: The front lamp can be turned on or off by pressing a button for one second. When the lamp status is ON, pulling the switch trigger activates the lamp. It turns off approximately 10 seconds after releasing the trigger. If the tool overheats, the light flashes for one minute before turning off.
Ring (XWT09, XWT09XV): A ring is provided for hanging the tool with a hoist. Users must ensure the bracket and ring are secure and undamaged before use.
Hook: A hook can be installed on either side of the tool for temporary hanging. It is secured with two screws.
Fastening Operation: Hold the tool firmly, place the impact socket over the bolt/nut, and turn the tool on. The proper fastening torque depends on bolt type, size, and workpiece material. The manual includes charts illustrating fastening torque versus time for standard and high tensile bolts across different models. It advises performing a test operation to determine the correct fastening time and checking torque with a torque wrench after fastening. Factors affecting fastening torque include battery charge, impact socket condition (wear, size), bolt characteristics (diameter, torque coefficient, class, length), use of universal joints or extension bars, tool holding manner, and operating speed.
