Selecting the action mode
This tool employs an action mode changing lever. Select
one of the four modes suitable for your work needs by
using this lever.
For rotation with impact, turn the lever so that the arrow
on the lever points toward the mark on the tool body.
For rotation with hammering, turn the lever so that the
arrow points toward the mark on the tool body.
For rotation with clutch, turn the lever so that the arrow
points toward the mark on the tool body.
For rotation only, turn the lever so that the arrow on the
lever points toward the mark or the mark on the tool
body.
Sliding to the mark is high rotation and the mark is
low rotation.
Before operation, always make sure that the lever is cor-
rectly set to your desired mode mark and use the tool at
an appropriate speed for your work.
CAUTION:
When using the action mode change lever, use only
when the tool stops. But when the lever does not
easily move, pull the switch trigger slightly to rotate
the spindle and then move the lever.
Always set the lever correctly to your desired mode
mark. If you operate the tool with the lever posi-
tioned halfway between the mode marks, the tool
may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque
(Only for screwdriving operation mode “ ”)
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by turn-
ing the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned
with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is
minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer,
and maximum when the number 16 is aligned with the
pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at
the number 1 to 16.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular application.
NOTE:
In modes other than screwdriving mode, the adjust-
ing ring can be placed at any position because it
does not work.
