OPERATION
BUILT-IN COUPLER

signed to accept 1/4 in. hex bits.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figure 4, page 11.

Lock switch trigger on the tool by placing the direction
of rotation selector in center position.
 Slide the coupler forward and hold in position.

REMOVING BITS
See Figure 4, page 11.


rotation selector in center position.
 Slide the coupler forward and hold in position.
 Pull bit straight out of coupler.
WARNING:
Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before using
the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be hidden
wiring behind the surface. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator. If you must drive a screw where hidden wire
may be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to
prevent a shock to the operator.
CAUTION:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as a drill.
DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS
See Figures 5 - 6, page 11.

Place the direction of rotation selector in the correct
position for the operation.
 Hold the impact driver with one hand.
 Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the
switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.
