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pres-
sure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.
