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

keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled.

The lamp goes out 10 -15 seconds after releasing the

• When the tool is overheated, the tool stops

automatically and the lamp starts flashing. In this case,

release the switch trigger. The lamp turns off in one

minute.

• 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

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. (Fig. 6)

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

counterclockwise rotation.

When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,

the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

Speed change

CAUTION:

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct

position. If you operate the tool with the speed change

lever positioned halfway between the “1” side and, “2”

side, the tool may be damaged.

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

running. The tool may be damaged. (Fig. 7)

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

slide the speed change lever to the “2” side for high speed

or, “1” side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change

lever is set to the correct position before operation. Use

the right speed for your job.

Selecting the action mode

CAUTION:

• Always set the ring correctly to your desired mode

mark. If you operate the tool with the ring positioned

halfway between the mode marks, the tool may be

damaged. (Fig. 8)

This tool employs an action mode changing ring. Select

one of the three modes suitable for your work needs by

using this ring.

For rotation only, turn the ring so that the arrow on the tool

body points toward the mark on the ring.

For rotation with hammering, turn the ring so that the

arrow points toward the mark on the ring.

For rotation with clutch, turn the ring so that the arrow

points toward the mark on the ring.

Adjusting the fastening torque

(screwdriver mode “ ”) (Fig. 9)

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 21 steps by

turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are

aligned with the pointer on the tool body.

First, slide the action mode change lever to the position of

symbol.

The fastening torque is minimum when the number 1 is

aligned with the pointer, and maximum when the marking

is aligned with the pointer. The clutch will slip at various

torque levels when set at the number 1 to 21. 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 halfway between the graduations.

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

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
