Outline
Before Using
z
Check voltage
. Please read the label on the product exterior and the manual thoroughly before using the
screwdriver, and make sure to correctly determine the screwdriver’s voltage requirement (115VAC). Only plug
the screwdriver into an outlet with the correct voltage.
z
Check for suitable torque range
. Choose a screwdriver model that matches your required torque range. To
lengthen product life, avoid using screwdrivers at maximum torque over long periods.
z
Check that the carbon maintenance bonnet is closed tightly
. If the bonnet or spring connector have come
loose, the motor will automatically cut off. The screwdriver will operate only after they have been correctly
reassembled. If the power cord is in any way damaged, unplug the screwdriver immediately and exchange it for
a new product in order to protect against shocks or fire caused by a short circuit.
z
Check the workplace
. Although this product features dual insulation, to ensure safety, do not use it in damp or
high-temperature environments or near flammable materials. Keep the power cord away from tools and
equipment that might damage or melt it.
z
Caution
: When plugging or unplugging the power cord, make sure to hold it by the plug. Never pull the power cord.
Usage and Cautions
z
Driving and removing screws
. To drive a screw, set the forward/reverse switch to
the FWD position. To remove a screw, set the switch to the REV position.
(
Caution: Never change the switch position when the motor is running!
)
Release the trigger (power switch) and change the position after the motor stops.
z
Torque setting
. Set the torque level by rotating the regulating handle. Turning it
clockwise into the casing will increase the torque and turning it counter-clockwise
out of the casing will decrease the torque. (
Caution: The markings on the
regulating handle are for reference only and do not indicate torque output.
Actual torque can only be determined with a torque-testing machine.
) If you
have difficulty removing screws (reverse setting), increase torque by turning the
regulating handle clockwise into the casing.
z
Inserting the bit
. Push the bit slide sleeve down with your finger and insert a
suitable bit. When the bit slide sleeve is released, the bit will become engaged. If
the bit wobbles during operation, remove it, rotate it 30 or 180° and reinsert it as
shown at right. (
Caution: Never force the bit in or out.
