CAUTION:
•
Always switch off the tool before installing or
removing of the battery cartridge.
•
Hold the tool and the battery cartridge firmly
when installing or removing battery cartridge.
Failure to hold the tool and the battery cartridge
firmly may cause them to slip off your hands and
result in damage to the tool and battery cartridge
and a personal injury.
To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool
while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.
To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Insert it all the way until it locks in place
with a little click. If you can see the red indicator on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
CAUTION:
•
Always install the battery cartridge 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.
•
Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the
cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Switch action
CAUTION:
•
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
•
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.

This tool has push drive mode. In this mode, the tool
cuts off power to the motor to save the battery power at
idle.
To select push drive mode, pull the trigger slightly, then
release it and quickly press the button. The mode
indicator will then light up.
Once push drive is activated, pull the switch trigger and
then push the lock button. Apply pressure to the bit and
the motor will start rotating. Further pressure engages
the clutch and the bit will start rotating. In push drive
mode, the motor and the driver bit will only rotate by
applying pressure.
NOTE:
•
If the tool does not run for about 8 hours in push
drive mode with the trigger locked on, tool is
shutdown. In such a case, release and pull the
trigger again for restarting.
