OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of

the battery cartridge.

• To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set plate

on the tool and grasp both sides of the cartridge while

withdrawing it from the tool.

• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip

it into place. Snap the set plate back into place. Be sure

to close the set plate fully before using the tool.

• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If

the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being

inserted correctly.

Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit (Fig. 2)

Important:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-

tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing

the bit.

Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to

open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as

it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clock-

wise to tighten the chuck.

To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve coun-

terclockwise.

Switch action (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always

check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and

returns to the "OFF" position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is

increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release

the trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation

before the tool stops may damage the tool.

Move the reversing switch lever to the A position for

clockwise rotation or the B position for conterclockwise

rotation. When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral

position, the tool will not start even if you pull the trigger.

Speed change (Fig. 4)

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then

slide the speed change lever to the "II" side for high

speed or "I" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed

change lever is set to the correct position before opera-

tion. Use the right speed for your job.

CAUTION:

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct

position. If you operate the tool with the speed change

lever positioned half-way between the "I" side and

"II" side, the tool may be damaged.

• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is run-

ning. The tool may be damaged.

Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 5)

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 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

pointer.

The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at

the number 1 to 16. The clutch is designed not to slip at

the

marking.

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:

• The adjusting ring does not lock when the pointer is

positioned only half-way between the graduations.

• Do not operate the tool with the adjusting ring set

between the number 16 and the

may be damaged.

Screwdriving operation (Fig. 6)

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and

apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then

increase the speed gradually. Release the trigger as

soon as the clutch cuts in.

NOTE:

• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the

screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make

driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.

• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery car-

tridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for

15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer on the tool

body points to the

marking. Then proceed as follows.

• Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with

wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide

screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the

workpiece.

• Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,

make an indentation with a centerpunch and hammer

at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the

indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The excep-

tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
