CAUTION:
Do not operate Forward/Reverse
lever until the chuck comes to a com-
plete stop. Shifting during rotation of
the chuck may damage the tool.
Forward Rotation Switch
Operation
1. Push the lever for forward rotation.
2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to
start the tool slowly.
3. The speed increases with the amount
of depression of the trigger for efficient
tightening of screws and drilling. The
brake operates and the chuck stops im-
mediately when the trigger is released.
4. After use, set the lever to its center
position (switch lock).
Reverse Rotation Switch
Operation
1. Push the lever for reverse rotation. Check
the direction of rotation before use.
2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to
start the tool slowly.
3. After use, set the lever to its center
position (switch lock).
Clutch Torque Setting
Adjust the torque to one of the 15
possible settings or “ “ position to
the job.
CAUTION:
Test the setting before actual operation.
Set the scale at this mark (
).
Speed Selection
Choose a low or high speed to suit
the use.
The more the speed control trigger is
pulled, the higher the speed becomes.
CAUTION:
Check the speed selector switch
before use.
Use at low speed when strong
force is needed during opera-
tion. (Using at high speed while a
strong force is applied may cause
a motor breakdown.)
Do not operate the speed selector
switch (LOW-HIGH) while pulling
on the speed control trigger. This
can cause the rechargeable bat-
tery to wear quickly or damage the
internal mechanism of the motor.
* See appendix for “RECOM-
MENDED SPEED SELECTION”.
NOTE:
When the brake operates, a brak-
ing sound may be heard.
This sound indicates engagement
of the bit lock.
CAUTION:
To eliminate excessive temperature
increase of the tool surface, do not
operate the tool continuously using
two or more battery packs. Tool
needs cool off time before switching
to another pack.
Do not close up vent holes on body
sides of the body during operation.
Otherwise, the machine function is
adversely affected to cause a failure.
Do not strain the tool (motor). This
may cause damage to the unit.
Use the machine in such a way as
to prevent the air from the body vent
holes from blowing directly onto your
skin. Otherwise, you may get burnt.
When operating with a Ni-MH bat-
tery pack, make sure the place is
well-ventilated.
Bit-locking function
1. With the trigger switch not engaged
and a screwdriver bit locked in place,
the tool can be used as a manual
screwdriver (up to 22.6 Nm, 230 k
f-cm,
199 in-lbs).
There will be a little play in the chuck,
but this is not a malfunction.
2. This feature is handy for tightening
screws that require more torque than
the maximum torque of the driver (posi-
tion on the clutch), for confirming the
tightness of a screw or to loosen an
extremely tight screw.
