Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (19) into the handle of the Cordless Driver.
Mark the center of the hole for the screw with a center punch (not included) to give a Bit a start and to prevent it from “walking”.

8. The Rotation Button (6) allows you to change the rotational direction of the Cord- less Driver. For a clockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the right. For a counterclockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the left. The center position locks the Trigger (12) to prevent the Cordless Driver from operating.
Set the driving torque by turning the Gear Box with Torque Ring (2) so that it lines up with the Arrow on the center top of the Cordless Driver.
The different sizes of screws pictured on the Torque Ring are an indication of how much torque the Cordless Driver will apply to the bit before the clutch slips, allowing the bit to stop and helping to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The larger the screw, the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Always start with a lower torque to help prevent damage. This Cordless Driver also has torque settings between the screw markings to allow a greater range of selection.

9.Hold the Cordless Driver firmly with both hands, as torque from the Motor can cause the tool to twist.

10.Operate the Driver by squeezing the Trigger (12). The speed can be controlled by varying the pressure on the Trigger.

11.If the clutch starts slipping before the screw is in all the way, stop the driver, put the Rotation Button (6) in the center position and change the torque setting. Reset the rotation direction before continuing.

14.Release the Trigger (12) to stop the Driver, put the Rotation Button in the center position, and remove the bit from the Bit Adapter.
