on the tool.
Depth adjustment
For Model FS2700 only
► Fig.1: 1. Locator 2. Front cap
When you wish to drive self drilling screws, etc., adjust
the depth as follows. Turn the locator to adjust the
depth.
Adjust the locator to create a distance of approximately
1 mm from the tip of the front cap (which works in

For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch

CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direc-
tion of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever
to the position (A side) for clockwise rotation or
the position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
Adjusting the fastening torque
When you wish to drive machine screws, wood screws,
hex bolts, etc. with the predetermined torque, adjust the
fastening torque as follows.
► Fig.7: 1. Adjusting ring 2. Pointer
The fastening torque may be adjusted by turning the
adjusting ring. The torque is increased by turning
the adjusting ring in the direction of the arrow and
decreased by turning it in the opposite direction. Align
the number 1 on the adjusting ring with the pointer on
the gear housing. Drive a trial screw into your material
or a piece of duplicate material. If the fastening torque
is not suitable for the screw, continue adjusting until the
proper torque is obtained.
CAUTION:
• The adjusting ring should be turned only within
the numbered range. It should not be forced
beyond this range.
