ASSEMBLY

Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.

Selecting action mode

This tool has an action mode change lever. For drilling, depress the lock button and then slide the action mode change lever to the left ( symbol). For screwing, slide the action mode change lever to the right ( symbol) until it is locked.

If it is hard to turn the lever, first turn the chuck slightly in either direction and then turn the lever again.

CAUTION:

Always slide the action mode change lever all the way to your desired mode position. If you operate the tool with the lever positioned halfway between the mode symbols, the tool may be damaged.

Do not use the action mode change lever while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.

Adjusting the fastening torque

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned with the pointer on the tool body.

First, slide the action mode change lever to the position of symbol.

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. Before actual opera- tion, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of dupli- cate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application.

CAUTION:

The adjusting ring does not lock when the pointer is positioned only halfway between the graduations.

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
