Operation
Forward / Reverse Lever
To select the forward or reverse on your screwdriver
simply push the forward/ reverse slide lever (5) to the
left side for reverse (R) or the right side for forward (F).
To lock the screwdriver simply ensure that the
forward/reverse lever (5) is placed in between forward
or reverse position.
Torque Settings
When using your screwdriver for various driving applications, it becomes
necessary to increase and decrease the power and torque in order to
prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, work piece, etc.
In general, power and torque should correspond to the size of the screw
and the material type that the screw is being driven into.
To Adjust Torque
• Loc
ate the arrow on the front of torque collar (2).
• Identify the d
rill bit icon or non torque setting and
6 to
rque settings on the front of the drill.
• Rot
ate the torque collar (2) to the desired setting
aligning the number on the front of the screwdriver
with the arrow torque collar (2).
•
To increase or decrease torque, rotate torque
collar (2). The lower the number, the lower the torque or twisting action
the screwdriver will produce. The higher the number, the higher the
torque or twisting action the screwdriver will produce.
Always check that the correct torque setting is selected by practicing on
scrap material prior to carrying out a job.
Pre Drilling your Material
It is recommended to pre drill holes in the material you are about to screw
into. Pre drilling holes will assist the screwdriver when driving screws and
enable your tool to operate efficiently.
Operation Of The Screwdriver
Only use d
river/drill bits which can be securely fastened in the quick
connect chuck (1) and for which the bits have been designed.
Before using the screwdriver check whether the screw-bit is inserted cor-
rectly. Avoid over-tightening screws, otherwise the screw head may be
damaged or stripping of the threads may occur.
Screw Insertion
Set the direction of rotation of the screwdriver to the clockwise/forward
direction using the forward/reverse lever (5). Insert the required driver bit
into the head of the screw. Hold the driver bit in line with the head of the
screw, otherwise the screw or the screw head may be damaged. Always
keep constant pressure while driving in the screw to avoid damage to the
driver bit or screw head.
Dep
r
ess the On/O
ff switch (8) to start driving the screw into your workpiece.
Always hold the screwdriver firmly and when the screw is completely
screwed in, r
elease the On/O
ff switch (8), otherwise the screw or the screw
head may be damaged. If the
O
n
/O
ff switch (8) is not released immediately
the high torque could also damage the driver bit or the screwdriver.
Screw Removal
Set the direction of rotation of the screwdriver to the anticlockwise/reverse
direction using the forward/reverse lever (5). Insert the required driver bit
into the head of the screw. Hold the driver bit in line with the head of the
screw, otherwise the screw or the screw head may be damaged.
Always keep constant pressure while driving or removing the screw to
avoid damage to the driver bit or screw head.
D
epress the
O
n/
O
ff switch (8) to start removing the screw from your workpiece.
Always hold the screwdriver firmly and when the screw is completely
removed, r
elease the On/O
ff switch (8).
Rotating Rear Handle
This screwdriver has two different handle configurations to assist with your
job requirements. Inline will assist you in hard to reach areas where
additional reach is required. Bent or “L” shape will provide you with
additional grip for those jobs where more torque is required.
To return the handle to the original position press the rotating handle lock
button (4) and rotate the handle clockwise till the handle locks into position.
