CAUTION:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
NOTE: The tool automatically stops if you keep pull-
ing the switch trigger for about 6 minutes.

Pull the switch trigger to turn on the lamp. To turn off,
release it. The lamp goes out approximately 10 seconds
after releasing the switch trigger.
To keep the lamp off, turn off the lamp status. First pull
and release the switch trigger. And then press the but-
ton for one second within 10 seconds.
Changing the impact force
► Fig.8: 1. Changed in four steps 2. Hard 3. Medium

You can change the impact force in four steps: hard, medium, soft, and T mode.
This allows a tightening suitable to the work.
Every time the button
"T" is a special mode for fastening self drilling screws. In this mode, the tool starts to drive a screw with faster rotation, which is suited for drilling
with the self-drilling-screw tip. Once the tool starts to tighten the screw, it impacts in medium force grade.
For approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger, the impact force can be changed.

To turn on the lamp status again, press the button again
similarly.
NOTE: To confirm the lamp status, pull the trigger. When the
lamp lights up by pulling the switch trigger, the lamp status is
ON. When the lamp does not come on, the lamp status is OFF.
NOTE: When the tool is overheated, the light flashes
for one minute, and then the LED display goes off. In
this case, cool down the tool before operating again.
NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
Reversing switch action
► Fig.7: 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 damage the tool.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool, always set the
reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rota-
tion. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side for clock-
wise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
