The torque specifications shown here are ap- proximate values obtained with a fully charged battery pack.
NOTE: Because the settings shown in the table are only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test the different clutch settings before driving screws into the workpiece.
Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before changing speeds. See “Applications” for recom- mended speeds under various conditions.
1. For Low speed (up to 400 RPM), push the speed selector to display “1”.
2. For High speed (up to 1500 RPM), push the speed selector to display “2”.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due
to a lockout mechanism, the con-
trol switch can only be adjusted
when the ON/OFF switch is not 
pressed. Always allow the mo- 
tor to come to a complete stop 
before using the control switch. 
For forward (clockwise) rota- 
tion, push in the control switch 
from the right side of the tool. 
Check the direction of rotation before use.
For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check direction of rota- tion before use.
To lock the trigger, push the 
control switch to the center po-
sition. The trigger will not work
while the control switch is in the 
center locked position. Always 
lock the trigger or remove the 
battery pack before performing 
maintenance, changing acces- 
sories, storing the tool and any 
time the tool is not in use. 
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle firmly and pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure the bit comes to a complete stop before laying the tool down.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect the battery from damage and extend its life, the tool’s intelligent circuit monitors current draw, temperature, and voltage drops.
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will flash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem- perature of the battery could become too high. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash and the battery pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool and then continue work.
This tool provides a quick, convenient means of drilling small holes and installing and removing screws. Because of the many screw sizes, types, thread engagements and materials available, it is difficult to limit the application of this tool by screw size. However, for applications in wood, a #6 wood screw with a full pilot hole is recommended as a practical limit.
