Speed Selection
Choose a low or high speed to suit
the use.
HIGH
LOW
The more the variable speed control
trigger is pulled, the higher the speed
becomes.
CAUTION:
Check the speed selector switch
before use.
Use at low speed when high
torque is needed during operation
.
(Using at high speed when high
torque is required 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 specifications for “RECOM-
MENDED CAPACITIES”
.
NOTE:
When the brake operates, a braking
sound may be heard. This sound
indicates engagement of the bit lock.
CAUTION:
To prevent excessive temperature
increase of the tool surface, do
not operate the tool continuously
using two or more battery packs.
The tool needs cool-off time before
switching to another pack.
Do not close up vent holes on the
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 tool in such a way as to pre-
vent the air from the body vent holes
from blowing directly onto your skin.
Otherwise, you may get burned.
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
N·m, 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
(position on the clutch), for confirm-
ing the tightness of a screw or to
loosen an extremely tight screw.
How to Use the Belt Hook
WARNING!
• Be sure to attach the belt hook se-
curely to the main unit with the screw
firmly fastened. When the belt hook
is not firmly attached to the main unit,
the hook may disconnect and the
main unit may fall.
This may result in an accident or
injury.
Periodically check screw for tightness.
If found to be loose, tighten firmly.
Be sure to attach the belt hook firmly
and securely onto a waist belt or other
belt. Pay attention that the unit does not
slip off the belt.
This may result in an
accident or injury.
• When the main unit is held by the
belt hook, avoid jumping or running
with it. Doing so may cause the hook
to slip and the main unit may fall.
This may result in an accident or
injury.
