When the lamp lights up by pulling the switch trigger,

blinks for one minute, and then it goes off. In this
case, cool down the tool before operating again.
NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
Reversing switch action
► Fig.6: 1. Reversing switch lever
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
CAUTION:
Use the reversing switch only after
the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool,
always set the reversing switch lever to the neu-
tral position.
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 coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Remaining battery capacity
automatic stop function
If the remaining battery capacity is less than 30%, the
tool does not start even when you pull the switch trigger.
This is to prevent insufficient tightening.
When you pull the switch trigger just before the auto-
matic stop function starts, the lamp blinks several times.
When you pull the switch trigger while the automatic
stop function works, the lamp also blinks. In these
cases, charge the battery or replace the battery with
fully charged one.
For battery cartridges with the remaining battery
capacity indicator, the automatic stop function can start
regardless of the state of remaining capacity display on
the battery.
