Bit-locking function

1.With the trigger switch not engaged and a screwdriver bit locked in place, the tool can be used as a manual screwdriver (up to 22.6 Nm, 230 kf-cm, 199 in-lbs).

There will be a little play in the chuck, but this is not a malfunction.

2.This feature is handy for tightening screws that require more torque than the maximum torque of the driver (position on the clutch), for confirming the tightness of a screw or to loosen an extremely tight screw.

For Appropriate use of Battery pack

Ni-MH Battery pack EY9231

Charge the Ni-MH battery fully be- fore storage in order to ensure a longer service life.

The ambient temperature range is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).

If the battery pack is used when the battery temperature is below 0°C (32°F) the tool may fail to function properly. In that case, charge the battery until charging is completed for appropriate functioning of the battery.

When operating with a Ni-MH bat- tery pack, make sure the place is well-ventilated.
