OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until
•
it locks in place. If not, it may accidentally fall out of
the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to
control the twisting action.
Screwdriving operation

CAUTION:
Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level
•
for your work.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger
as soon as the clutch cuts in.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in
•
the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be
damaged.
NOTE:
When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to
•
make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the
workpiece. See the chart.

Drilling operation
First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to
the
marking. Then proceed as follows.
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,
make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at
the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the
indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled
dry.

CAUTION:
Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
•
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only
serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the
tool performance and shorten the service life of the
tool.
There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit
•
at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool
firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break
through the workpiece.
A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the
•
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back
out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you
do not hold it firmly.
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
•
hold-down device.
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
•
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Using the tool as a hand screwdriver

Switch off the tool.
Move the lock button to the locked position A.
Turn the tool.
NOTE:
This
use
is
•
screwdriving.
Do not use the tool for work requiring excessive
•
force, such as tightening bolt or removing rusted
screws.
Using holster
CAUTION:
Do not use for tools such as a drill with a bit
•
installed on them.
Turn off a tool and wait until it comes to a complete
•
stop before placing in the holster.
Be sure to close the holster securely so that it
holds the tool firmly.
Thread a waist belt or similar through holster holder.
Put the tool in the holster and lock it with the holster
button.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
