1. To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the

arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will

go. Then release the sleeve to secure the bit. (Fig. 8)

2. To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the

arrow and insert the bit-piece and bit into the sleeve

as far as it will go. The bit-piece should be inserted

into the sleeve with its pointed end facing in. Then

release the sleeve to secure the bit. (Fig. 9)

To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the

arrow and pull the bit out firmly.

NOTE:

• If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve,

the sleeve will not return to its original position and the

bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the

bit according to the instructions above.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it

locks in place. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the

tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the

other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to

control the twisting action.

Screwdriving operation (Fig. 10)

CAUTION:

• Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for

your work.

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 switch trigger

as soon as the clutch cuts in.

CAUTION:

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

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

NOTE:

• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make

driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.

See the chart.

Drilling operation

First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to

the marking. Then proceed as follows.

Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, the 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 center-punch 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

exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the

drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve

to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool

performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at

the time of hole break through. Hold the tool firmly and

exert care when the bit begins to break through the

workpiece.

• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the

reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back

out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do

not hold it firmly.

• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar

hold-down device.

• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery

cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for

15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

Using the tool as a hand screwdriver

(Fig. 11)

Switch off the tool.

Move the lock button to the locked position A.

NOTE:

• This use is convenient for checking the screwdriving.

• Do not use the tool for work requiring excessive force,

such as tightening bolt or removing rusted screws.
