Installing or removing driver bit or socket bit

Use only the driver bit or socket bit shown in the figure. Do not use any other driver bit or socket bit.

To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will go. Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.

To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the arrow and pull the bit out firmly.

NOTE:

If the bit is not inserted deep enough into the sleeve, the sleeve will not return to its original position and the bit will not be secured. In this case, try re-inserting the bit according to the instructions above.

Hold the tool firmly and place the point of the driver bit in the screw head. Apply forward pressure to the tool to the extent that the bit will not slip off the screw. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger just as the screw bottoms out.

The proper fastening torque differs depending upon the kind or size of the screw/bolt, the material of the workpiece to be fastened, etc. Refer to the figure for the relation between fas- tening time and wood screw size. (Material to be fastened: Lauan)

NOTE:

Use the proper bit for the head of the screw/bolt that you wish to use.

When fastening tool screws in a steel plate, the proper fastening torque can be obtained in an extremely short time (approx. 0.1 - 0.2 seconds). Turn the tool off as soon as the impact sound is heard.

Hold the tool pointed straight at the screw or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the workpiece.
