NOTE: Loosening stuck or hard to move sleeves.
Grasp the bit installed in the keyless chuck, in a vise or similar tool.
Set the cap position to “1-7” and turn the switch on. The motor then starts.
Finally, rotate the sleeve to the left, and it will loosen.
5. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism
This unit has automatic spindle-lock mechanism for quick bit changes.
6. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly
7. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the selector button.
The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn
the bit counterclockwise. (See Fig. 17) (The
L
and
R
marks are provided on the selector button.)
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool
rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled
by varying the amount that the trigger switch is
pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is
pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch
is pulled more.
When releasing the trigger of the switch, the brake
will be applied for immediate stopping.
