OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always insert the battery cartridge all the
way until it locks in place. If you can see the red indicator on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely. Insert it fully
until the red indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall
out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
When the speed comes down extremely,
reduce the load or stop the tool to avoid the tool damage.
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.
NOTICE:
Do not cover vents, or it may cause over-
heating and damage to the tool.

Screwdriving operation
CAUTION:
Adjust the adjusting ring to the
proper torque level for your work.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the driver bit is
inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw
and/or driver bit may be damaged.
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.
NOTE: When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole
2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.
