I think Makita could have included some information like you have shown, I have never used an impact wrench in my 68 years of using all sorts of tools and the information supplied, to me is some what sparse. Thanks for the vid!
W stands for Wrench, so many people call impact Drivers "drills" that it just adds to the confusion. Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the auto modes, seems they still haven't quite sorted autostop yet. Hopefully by the next gen they will.
Ok which hammer setting do you get with mode 1 2 3 or does the mode work on an individual setting for each hammer setting you choose 1 2 3 4. I ask because when i choose hammer setting 4 and then choose a mode i get the option of 1 2 or 3 are those three mode settings operating the tool in hammer setting 4 (most powerful) and if i choose hammer 3 is the mode working in hammer setting 3 and so on?in other words does does the hammer setting control power and does the mode control the way the tool works in that individual power setting.
I have just bought this tool, haven't used it yet, but from reading the manual it seems that in any of the 3 modes in clockwise (so tightening for the most part) it didn't state which impact force it used, but it doesn't apply impact blows for more than 1 second max (mode 3). In Counterclockwise (ie loosening) it says modes 1 and 2 use impact force 4, it doesn't say what force mode 3 uses, but assume 4 also. The difference in those 1 and 2 counterclockwise modes is how long it continues to turn after stopping the impacts, and mode 3 it turns slowly after stopping the impacts as long as you keep the trigger pressed.
I keep on looking at how the socket is about to fall off the anvil and is constantly being pushed back in by hand. Saw a video which mentions how the Makita hog ring model is too loose on the anvil. Now, I may get the detent pin model instead.
Thanks greatly Mike. Now I understand how to use mine. I do find the Mode button hard to.press. Otherwise the tool is great. Thankyou again.

I don't have that issue with impact sockets and extensions.

Pity you masked the Camera with the Wrench :(
