FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

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

tery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking

function on the tool.

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, withdraw it from the

tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the car-

tridge.

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

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip

it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in

place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out

of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around

you.

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

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

inserted correctly.

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 switch trigger. Tool speed

is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

Lighting up the front lamp (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

• Do not look in the light or see the source of light

directly.

Pull the switch trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp

keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.

NOTE:

• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be

careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower

the illumination.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A

side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-

clockwise rotation.

When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,

the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

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.

• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing

switch lever to the neutral position.
