CAUTION

◯The selection examples shown in Table 2 should be utilized as a general standard. As different types of tightening screws and different materials to be tightened are used in actual works, proper adjustments are naturally necessary.

6. Mounting and dismounting of the bit.

(1)After inserting a driver bit, etc. into the keyless drill chuck, firmly grasp the ring and tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 8)

◯If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten

it further. The tightening force becomes stronger when the sleeve is tightened additionally.

(2)Dismounting the bit

Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the counter-clockwise direction as viewed from the front). (See Fig. 8)

CAUTION:

◯When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve, use a vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set the clutch mode between 1 and 10 and then turn the sleeve to the loose side (left side) while operating the clutch. It should be easy now to

loosen the sleeve.

NOTE

◯There is a plus driver bit on side of the main unit. The bit can be removed by pulling it forward. After using the bit, make sure to firmly attach it to the

main body again.

7.Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly.

8.Check the rotation direction

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by pushing the R-side of the selector button. The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn

the bit counterclockwise. (see Fig. 9). (The and marks are provided on the body.)

CAUTION:

◯Make sure to firmly switch the selector button. If

it is not switched firmly, the drill may not rotate even if the switch is turned on.

9. Switch operation

When the trigger switch is pulled, the tool rotates. When the trigger is released, the tool stops.

◯The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled. Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.

NOTE

◯A peep sound may be produced when the motor is about to rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1.Inspecting the tool

Since use of as dull tool will degrade efficiency and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.

2.Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

3.Cleaning on the outside

When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, as they melt plastics.

4.Storage
