(2) Dismounting the bit

Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning

it toward the left (in the counter-clockwise direction as

viewed from the front) (See Fig. 8).

CAUTION

When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve, use a

vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set the clutch

mode between 1 and 11, and then turn the sleeve to the

loose side (left side) while operating the clutch. It should

be easy now to loosen the sleeve.

8. 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. 9) (The

and marks

are provided on the body).

9. Switch operation

○ 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.

NOTE

A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to

rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

10. Using the bit holder

CAUTION

○ Stow the bit in the speciﬁ ed location on the tool. If the

tool is used with the bit stowed improperly, the bit may

fall and cause bodily injury.

○ Do not stow bits that are of a diﬀ erent length, gauge or

dimension than the plus driver bit (65 mm long) included

in the STANDARD ACCESSORIES.

The bit may fall and cause bodily injury.

(1) Removing the bit

Securely hold the main unit and pull out the bit by

holding the tip with your thumb (Fig. 10).

(2) Installing the Bit

Install the bit with steps opposite of when removing.

Insert the bit so that the right and left sides are equal, as

shown in Fig. 11

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the tool

Since use of as dull tool will degrade eﬃ ciency and

cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace

the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that

they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be

loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could

result in serious hazard.

3. Cleaning on the outside

When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry

cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use

chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt

plastics.

4. Storage

Store the driver drill in a place in which the temperature

is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.

NOTE

Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored

for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with

smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when

used, if stored for a long period.
