To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "A" side (2) for high
speed or "B" side (1) for low speed. Be sure that the
speed change lever is set to the correct position before
operation. Use the right speed for your job.
CAUTION:
Always set the speed change lever fully to the
•
correct position. If you operate the tool with the
speed change lever positioned halfway between
the "A" side (2) and "B" side (1), the tool may be
damaged.
Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is
•
running. The tool may be damaged.
ASSEMBLY

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.

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 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.
Hold the tool firmly and place the point of the driver bit in
the screw head. Apply forward pressure to the tool to the
extent that the bit will not slip off the screw. Start the tool
slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release
the switch trigger just as the screw bottoms out.
NOTE:
Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt
•
that you wish to use.
Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw or the
•
screw and/or bit may be damaged.
When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to
•
make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the
workpiece. The pilot holes should be slightly
smaller than the wood screws in diameter.
The size of wood screw which can be fastened
•
with this tool may differ depending upon the type of
material to be fastened. Always perform a test
operation to determine the size of wood screw.
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.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
