WARNING:
Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before using
the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
The metal surface may become hot during use. Avoid
contact with it to avoid possible burn injury.
DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS
See Figures 5 - 6, page 10.
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
could be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to pre-
vent a shock to the operator.
NOTICE:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as a drill.

Place the direction of rotation selector in the correct posi-
tion for operation.

Hold the impact driver with one hand.

Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the
switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.
NOTE: The LED will illuminate as the trigger is depressed.

As the screw is driven, impacting will begin.
