Reversing switch action
► Fig.5: 1. Reversing switch lever
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
CAUTION:
Use the reversing switch only after
the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool,
always set the reversing switch lever to the neu-
tral position.
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 coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Speed change
► Fig.6: 1. Speed change lever
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.
CAUTION:
Do not use the speed change lever
while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque
► Fig.8: 1. Action mode changing ring 2. Adjusting
ring 3. Graduation 4. Arrow
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 20 levels by turning the adjusting ring. Align the graduations with the arrow
on the tool body. You can get the minimum fastening torque at 1 and maximum torque at 20.
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. The following shows the rough guide of the relationship between
the screw size and graduation.

To change the speed, switch off the tool first. Select
the "2" side for high speed or "1" for low speed but high
torque. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to the
correct position before operation.
If the tool speed is coming down extremely during the
operation with "2", slide the lever to the "1" and restart
the operation.
Selecting the action mode
CAUTION:
your desired mode mark. If you operate the tool
with the ring positioned halfway between the
mode marks, the tool may be damaged.
CAUTION:
from " " to other modes, it may be a little dif-
ficulty to slide the action mode changing ring. In
this case, switch on and run the tool for a second
at the " " position, then stop the tool and slide
the ring to your desired position.
► Fig.7: 1. Action mode changing ring 2. Adjusting
ring 3. Graduation 4. Arrow
This tool has three action modes.
• Drilling mode (rotation only)
• Hammer drilling mode (rotation with
hammering)
• Screwdriving mode (rotation with clutch)
Select one mode suitable for your work. Turn the
action mode changing ring and align the mark that you
selected with the arrow on the tool body.
