You can change the impact force in three steps: hard, 

soft, and Reverse rotation auto stop mode.

This allows a tightening suitable to the work.

Every time the button is pressed, the number of blows 

changes in three steps.

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.

For approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger, the impact force can be changed.

function.

Disassembling bolts/nuts.

NOTE:

 Reverse rotation auto stop mode is available only when the tool rotates counterclockwise. When rotating 

clockwise in Reverse rotation auto stop mode, the impact force and speed are the same as Hard impact mode.

NOTE:

 When all lamps on the switch panel go out, the tool is turned off to save the battery power. The impact force 

grade can be checked by pulling the switch trigger to the extent that the tool does not operate.

NOTE:

 While pulling the switch trigger, the impact force grade cannot be changed.
