OPERATION

CAUTION:

 

Always insert the battery cartridge 

all the way until it locks in place.

 If you can see the 

red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not 

locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator 

cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of 

the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.

CAUTION:

 

When the speed comes down extremely, 

reduce the load or stop the tool to avoid the tool damage.

Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the 

other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to 

control the twisting action.

Screwdriving operation

CAUTION:

 

Adjust the adjusting ring to the 

proper torque level for your work.

CAUTION:

 

Make sure that the driver bit is 

inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw 

and/or driver bit may be damaged.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the 

arrow on the tool body points to the 

 marking.

Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pres-

sure 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:

 When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole 

2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier 

and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

Hammer drilling operation

CAUTION:

 

There is a tremendous and sudden 

twisting force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the 

time of hole breakthrough, when the hole becomes 

clogged with chips and particles, or when striking 

reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete.

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow 

on the tool body points to the 

 marking. The adjusting 

ring can be aligned in any torque levels for this operation.

Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped drill bit.

Position the drill bit at the desired location for the hole, 

then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light 

pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position 

and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.

Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with 

chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an idle, then remove the 

drill bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the 

hole will be cleaned out and normal drilling may be resumed.

Blow-out bulb

Optional accessory

►

 Blow-out bulb

After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the 

dust out of the hole.

Drilling operation

First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow 

points to the 

 marking. Then proceed as follows.

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 drill bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an 

indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. 

Place the point of the drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The excep-

tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:

 

Pressing excessively on the tool 

will not speed up the drilling.

 In fact, this excessive 

pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill 

bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the 

service life of the tool.

CAUTION:

 

Hold the tool firmly and exert care 

when the drill bit begins to break through the 

workpiece.

 There is a tremendous force exerted on 

the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.

CAUTION:

 

A stuck drill bit can be removed 

simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse 

rotation in order to back out. However, the tool 

may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.

CAUTION:

 

Always secure workpieces in a 

vise or similar hold-down device.

CAUTION:

 

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.
