OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from the tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Driving screws with screwdriver bits
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 1, page 8.
To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop.
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/FLASHLIGHT POSITION)
See Figure 1 - 2, page 8.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the Flashlight (center)
position to prevent accidentally starting the tool.
Move the direction of rotation selector upward for forward
chuck rotation. Move the selector downward to reverse the
direction.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully up or down.

To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to
a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Place the
direction of rotation selector in the
Flashlight (center)
position when not in use or carrying at your side, when
installing or removing the battery pack, and when
installing or removing bits.
LED LIGHTS
See Figure 3, page 8.
The LED lights around the chuck will come on when the switch
trigger is depressed. This provides additional lighting on the
surface of the workpiece for operation in lower-light areas.

(center) position and the switch trigger is depressed, the LED
lights will come on but the tool will not run.
