FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
Fig.1
•
Always switch off the tool before insertion or
removal of the battery cartridge.
•
To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from
the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of
the cartridge.
•
To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it
into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the
tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
•
Do not use force when inserting the battery
cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it
is not being inserted correctly.
Switch action
Fig.2
CAUTION:
•
Before inserting the battery cartridge 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.
Reversing switch action
Fig.3
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.
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.
Speed change
Fig.4
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.
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.
Adjusting the fastening torque
Fig.5
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 steps by
turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are
aligned with the pointer on the tool body. 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 16. The clutch is designed not to slip at
the
marking.
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.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit
Fig.6
Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck
jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn
the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
OPERATION
Screwdriving operation
Fig.7
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.
