Adjusting driving depths
Press the front face of the stopper base and hold the
feeder box down into the casing as far as it will go.
While keeping it in that position, turn the adjusting dial
so that the driver bit tip comes out approximately 6 mm
(1/4") from the front face of the stopper base.
Drive a trial screw. If the screw head stands above the
workpiece surface, turn the adjusting dial in the A direc-
tion; if the screw head sits below the surface, turn the
adjusting dial in the B direction.

Reversing switch action
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 direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool, always
set the reversing switch lever to the neutral 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.

Push drive mode
In push drive mode, the driver bit only rotates by applying pres-
sure onto the driving surface with the stopper base, allowing the
tool to cut off power to the motor to save battery power at idle.
To select push drive mode, pull the switch trigger
slightly, then release it and quickly press the mode
select button. The indicator lamp on the push drive
mode selector will then light up.

vated after eight hours with the switch trigger locked
on and no further switch operation. To restart the tool,
pull the switch trigger fully to release the lock button,
and pull the trigger again.
