CAUTION:
Speed Selection
Choose a low or high speed to suit
the use.
LOW
HIGH
The more the variable speed control
trigger is pulled, the higher the speed
becomes.
CAUTION:
• Check the speed selector switch
before use.
• Use at low speed when high torque
is needed during operation. (Using
at high speed when high torque is
required may cause a motor
breakdown.)
• Do not operate the speed selector
switch (LOW-HIGH) while pulling
on the speed control trigger. This
can cause the rechargeable battery
to wear quickly or damage the
internal mechanism of the motor.
* See specifications for "MAXIMUM
RECOMMENDED CAPACITIES".
CAUTION:
• To prevent excessive temperature
increase of the tool surface, do not
operate the tool continuously using
two or more battery packs. The tool
needs cool-off time before switching to
another pack.
• Do not close up vent holes on the
sides of the body during operation.
Otherwise, the machine function is
adversely affected to cause a failure.
• Do NOT strain the tool (motor). This
may cause damage to the unit.
• Use the tool in such a way as to
prevent the air from the body vent
holes from blowing directly onto your
skin. Otherwise, you may get burned.
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 40 N
· m,
408 k g f-cm, 353 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.
Control Panel
(1) LED light
CAUTION:
• The built-in LED light is designed to
illuminate the small work area
temporarily.
• Do not use it as a substitute for a
regular flashlight, since it does not
have enough brightness.
• LED light turns off when the tool has
not been used for 5 minutes.

not adversely affect the
performance of the tool
during use or its battery
capacity.
