1. To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of
the arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far
as it will go. Then release the sleeve to secure the
bit.
Fig.8
2. To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of
the arrow and insert the bit-piece and bit into the
sleeve as far as it will go. The bit-piece should be
inserted into the sleeve with its pointed end facing
in. Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.
Fig.9
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out firmly.
NOTE:
If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the
•
sleeve, the sleeve will not return to its original
position and the bit will not be secured. In this case,
try re-inserting the bit according to the instructions
above.

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
Fig.10
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.
