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

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

008806

Switch off the tool.

Move the lock button to the locked position A.

Turn the tool.

NOTE:

• This use is convenient for checking the

screwdriving.
