Installing driver bit holder

Optional accessory

►1. Driver bit holder 2. Driver bit

Fit the driver bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot

on either right or left side and secure it with a screw.

When not using the driver bit, keep it in the driver bit

holders. Driver bits 45 mm-long (1-3/4") can be kept

there.

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always insert the battery cartridge

all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the

red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not

locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator

cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of

thetool,causinginjurytoyouorsomeonearound

you.

CAUTION: When the speed comes down

extremely, reduce the load or stop the tool to

avoid the tool damage.

Holdthetoolrmly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.

CAUTION: Make sure that the driver bit is

inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw

and/or driver bit may be damaged.

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.

NOTE: When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole

2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier

and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

Drilling operation

First,turntheadjustingringsothatthearrow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 drill bit into

the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

Topreventthedrill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

drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.

Useacuttinglubricantwhendrillingmetals.Theexcep-

tions 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 drill

bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the

service life of the tool.

CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly and exert care

when the drill bit begins to break through the

workpiece.Thereisatremendousforceexertedon

the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.

CAUTION: A stuck drill 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 rmly.

CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a

vise or similar hold-down device.

CAUTION: 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.
