Driving in corner
CAUTION:
Driving at a position closer than 15
mm (5/8") to the wall or driving with the stopper
base in contact with the wall may damage the
screw heads and cause wear on the driver bit.
This may also lead to poor fastening of screws and
malfunction of the tool.
This tool can be used to drive at a position 15 mm (5/8")
away from the wall as shown in the figure.

Unfastening operation
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.
The tool allows you to change the direction of driver bit
rotation with ease, either towards the right (clockwise)
to tighten a screw or towards the left (counterclockwise)
to loosen a screw.
1. Depress the reversing switch lever from the B side
for counterclockwise rotation.
