FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking
function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If you can see the red part on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not, it
may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to
you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed
is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Lighting up the front lamp (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light
directly.
Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.
The light automatically goes out 10 – 15 seconds after
the switch trigger is released.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower
the illumination.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-
clockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.

Selecting the action mode
This tool employs an action mode changing lever. Select
one of the four modes suitable for your work needs by
using this lever.
For rotation with impact, turn the lever so that the arrow
on the lever points toward the
(Fig. 5)
For rotation with hammering, turn the lever so that the
arrow points toward the
(Fig. 6)
For rotation with clutch, turn the lever so that the arrow
points toward the mark on the tool body. (Fig. 7)
For rotation only, turn the lever so that the arrow on the
lever points toward the
tool body. (Fig. 8)
Sliding to the mark is for high rotation and the
mark is for low rotation. (Fig. 9)
Before operation, always make sure that the lever is cor-
rectly set to your desired mode mark and use the tool at
an appropriate speed for your work.
CAUTION:
• When using the action mode change lever, use only
when the tool stops. But when the lever does not easily
move, pull the switch trigger slightly to rotate the spin-
dle and then move the lever.
• Always set the lever correctly to your desired mode
mark. If you operate the tool with the lever positioned
halfway between the mode marks, the tool may be
damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque (Only for
screwdriving operation mode "
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by turn-
ing the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned
with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is
minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer,
and maximum when the number 16 is aligned with the
pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at
the number 1 to 16.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular application.
NOTE:
• In modes other than screwdriving mode, the adjusting
ring can be placed at any position because it does not
work.
