OPERATION
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
■
Place the direction of rotation selector in the center
position.
■
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
■
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap in place and that battery pack is secured in
the product before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
■
Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack.
■
Remove the battery pack from the drill.
WARNING
Battery products are always in operating
condition. Therefore, the switch should always
be locked when not in use or carrying at your
side.
CAUTION
The metal surface may become hot during use.
Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn injury.
TRIGGER SWITCH
See Figure 3.
To turn the drill ON , depress the trigger switch. To turn it
OFF, release the trigger switch.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed trigger switch delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with
decreased trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a
normal part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the trigger switch. With the
drill held in normal operating position, the direction of
rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
trigger switch for forward drilling. The drilling direction is
reversed when the selector is to the right of the trigger
switch.
Setting the trigger switch in the
OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when
not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
To stop, release trigger switch and allow the coupler to
come to a complete stop.
BUILT-IN COUPLER
See Figure 4.
The tool has a built-in coupler. The coupler has been
designed to accept 6.35 mm hex bits.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figure 4.
■
Lock trigger switch on the tool by placing the direction
of rotation selector in center position.
■
Slide the coupler forward and hold in position.
■
Insert bit straight into coupler.
■
Slide the coupler back slowly and release.
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 4.
■
Lock trigger switch or the drill by placing the direction
of rotation selector in center position.
■
Slide the coupler forward and hold in position.
■
Pull bit straight out of coupler.
WARNING
Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler
before using the impact driver. Failure to do so
could cause serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to
be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool “live” and shock the operator. If you
must drive a screw where hidden wire may be
present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation
to prevent a shock to the operator, as seen in
figure 5.
CAUTION:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as
a drill.
