this time, turn the tool on or turn the chuck by hand 
in  the 

  symbol  position  and  then  rotate  the 

action  mode  changing  knob.  Forcing  the  action 
mode changing knob may cause tool damage. 

Torque limiter 

The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level 
is  reached.  The  motor  will  disengage  from  the  output 
shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning. 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

As  soon  as  the  torque  limiter  actuates,  switch  off 
the  tool  immediately.  This  will  help  prevent 
premature wear of the tool. 

• 

Hole saws cannot be used with this tool. They tend 
to pinch or catch easily in the hole. This will cause 
the torque limiter to actuate too frequently. 

ASSEMBLY 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the 
battery  cartridge  is  removed  before  carrying  out 
any work on the tool.

CAUTION: 

• 

Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety. 

Install the side grip so that the protrusion on the grip fit in 
between the grooves in the tool barrel. Then tighten the 
grip by turning clockwise at the desired position. It may 
be swung 360° so as to be secured at any position. 

Bit grease 

Coat the bit shank head beforehand with a small amount 
of  bit  grease  (about  0.5  -1  g).  This  chuck  lubrication 
assures smooth action and longer service life. 

Installing or removing the bit 

Clean the bit shank and apply bit grease before installing 
the bit.
