BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris
and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that
lighting and ventilation is adequate.

OPERATION

1. Installing the bit
Always follow the following procedure to install
driver bit. (Fig. 5)
Guide sleeve
Driver bit
Hexagonal hole in
the anvil
(1) Pull the guide sleeve forward.
(2) Insert the bit into the hexagonal hole in the anvil.
(3) Release the guide sleeve and it returns to its origianl
position.
CAUTION
If the guide sleeve does not return to its original
position, then the bit is not installed properly.
2. Removing the bit
Please do the opposite point on the method of
installing bit.
3. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.
4. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the pushing button.
The L-side of the pushing button is pushed to turn
the bit counterclockwise. (See Fig. 6). (The
marks are engraved on the body.)

CAUTION
The pushing button can not be switched while the
impact driver is turning. To switch the pushing
button, stop the impact driver, then set the
pushing button.
5. Switch operation
When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool
rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
The rotational speed 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.
When releasing the trigger of the switch, the brake
will be applied for immediate stopping.
NOTE:
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about
to rotate; this is only a noise, not a machine failure.
6. Tightening and loosening screws
Install the bit that matches the screw, line up the bit
in the grooves of the head of the screw, then tighten
it.
Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit
fitting the head of the screw.
CAUTION
Applying the impact driver for too long tightens
the screw too much and can break it.
Tightening a screw with the impact driver at an
angle to that screw can damage the head of the
screw and the proper force will not be transmitted
to the screw.
Tighten with this impact driver lined up straight
with the screw.
7. Using the hook
The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your
waist belt while working.
and
CAUTION
When using the hook, hang up the power tool
firmly not to drop accidentally.
If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
When carrying the power tool with hooked to your
waist belt, do not fit any bit to the tip of power
tool. If the sharp bit such as drill is fitted to the
power tool when carrying it with hooked to your
waist belt, you will be injured.
Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
