I. ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES
1) Be aware that this tool is always in an oper-
ating condition, since it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
2) When screwing or driving into walls, floors,
etc., “live” electrical wires may be encoun-
tered. DO NOT TOUCH THE HEX QUICK
CHUCK OR ANY FRONT METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL! Hold the tool only by the
plastic handle to prevent electric shock in
case you screw or drive into a “live” wire.
3) If the screw driver does not rotate anymore,
immediately turn the main switch off for a
longer period to prevent an overload, which
can damage the battery pack or motor.
Use reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.
4) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse lever
when the main switch is on. The battery will
discharge rapidly and damage to the unit
may occur.
5) During charging, the charger may become
slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long period.
6) Use only a dry, soft cloth to wipe the unit. Do
NOT use a damp cloth, thinner, benzine, or
other volatile solvents for cleaning.
7) When storing or carrying the tool, set the
Forward/Reverse lever to the center position
(switch lock).
8) Do not strain the tool by holding the speed
control trigger halfway (speed control mode)
so that the motor stops.
9) Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
10)Wear ear protectors when using the tool for
extended periods.
II. ASSEMBLY

• When attaching or removing a bit, discon-
nect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the center position (switch lock).
1. Hold the collar of quick connect chuck and
pull it against the driver.
2. Insert the bit into the chuck.
3. The collar will return to its original position
when it is released.
4. Pull the bit to make sure it does not come out.
5. To remove the bit, pull back on the collar
in the same way.
CAUTION:
• If the collar does not return to its origi-
nal position or the bit comes out when
pulled on, the bit has not been properly
attached. Make sure the bit is properly
attached before use.
Use 6.35mm (1/4”) hexagonal bits.
To ensure proper securement of the bit, use
only hexagonal bits with 9.5mm (3/8”) detent.
