Reversing switch lever
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
CAUTION:
Use the reversing switch only after
the tool comes to a complete stop.
Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stops may dam
-
age the tool.
CAUTION:
When not operating the tool,
always set the reversing switch lever to the neu-
tral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the
A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

Button
You can change the impact mode in four steps: hard,
medium, soft, and reverse rotation auto stop mode.
To select the step, press the button
.
You can change the impact force within approximately
one minute after releasing the switch trigger.
Hard, Medium, and Soft impact mode allows a tighten-
ing suitable to the work.
The function of reverse rotation auto stop mode works
only with pulling the trigger fully in counterclockwise tool
rotation. When the bolt/nut gets enough loosened, the
tool stops the impact and rotation.
