Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety. 
Insert the side grip so that the groove on the arm fit in 
one of the counter parts on the tool. Then tighten the 
grip by turning clockwise. 
Depending the operations, you can install the side grip 
either right or left side of the tool.

Fit the bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot on 
either right or left side and secure it with a screw. 
When not using the driver bit, keep it in the bit holders. 
Bits 45 mm long can be kept there.

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool. 
This can be installed on either side of the tool. 
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool 
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. 
To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out. 

OPERATION 

   

014691 

Screwdriving operation 

First, slide the action mode change lever so that it 
points to the

marking. Adjust the adjusting ring to the 

proper torque level for your work. Then proceed as 
follows. 
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and 
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then 
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger 
as soon as the clutch cuts in. 

NOTE: 

• 

Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in 
the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be 
damaged. 

• 

When driving wood screw, predrill a pilot hole 2/3 
the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier 
and prevents splitting of the workpiece. 

• 

If the tool is operated continuously until the battery 
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. 

Drilling operation 

Drilling in wood 

When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with 
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide 
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the 
workpiece.
