Soft Grip
The gripping surface (soft grip) (8) reduces the danger
of slipping and thereby improves the grip on the tool
and the handling. At the same time, the rubber coating
achieves a vibration-reducing effect, for an increased
comfort for the operator.
Battery capacity indicator
The battery capacity indicator consists of 3 LED in the
front of battery pack (see picture A). Push ‘ ON’ button,
3 LED will light up to indicate the capacity of battery
pack as below table.
LED Capacity
Green + Red >66%
Red 34 - 66%
Red 30 - 33%
Not light <3%
Screwdriving Operation
Turn the torque preselection ring (3) to the position
of number and select the tightening torque. Push the
rotational direction switch (7) left to the end to make the
rotation clockwise. Set up the gear speed at Gear 1.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch (1) as
soon as the clutch cuts in.
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in
the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be
damaged.
• When driving wood screws, pre-drilled pilot holes to
make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the
work piece. See the chart.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
pack has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15
minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Nominal diameter of wood
screw (mm)
Recommended size of pilot
hole (mm)
1/8“ (3.1 mm) 5/64 - 3/32“ (2.0-2.2 mm)
9/64“ (3.5 mm) 3/32 - 3/32“ (2.2-2.5 mm)
5/32“ (3.8 mm) 3/32 - 7/64“ (2.5 - 2.8 mm)
11/64“ (4.5 mm) 7/64 - 1/8“ (2.9-3.2 mm)
3/16“ (4.8 mm) 1/8 - 9/64“ (3.1-3.4 mm)
13/64“ (5.1 mm) 1/8 - 9/64“ (3.3-3.6 mm)
7/32“ (5.5 mm) 9/64 - 5/32“ (3.7-3.9 mm)
7/32“ (5.8 mm) 5/32 - 11/64“ (4.0-4.2 mm)
15/64“ (6.1 mm) 11/64 - 11/64“ (4.2-4.4 mm)
Reversing the Rotational Direction
This tool has a reversing switch (7) to change the
direction of rotation but it is not possible with the on/
off switch (1) actuated.
Clockwise Rotation
For drilling or tightening Screws push the rotational
direction switch (7) left to the end.
Counter-clockwise Rotation
For loosening screws, push the rotational direction
switch (7) right to the end
Setting the Torque
The tightening torque can be adjusted in 19+1
settings by turning the torque preselection ring (3) so
that its graduations are aligned with the pointer (4) on
the tool body.
The tightening torque is minimum when the number
1 is aligned with the pointer and maximum when the
symbol ‘ ’ is aligned with the pointer. The clutch will
slip at various torque levels when set at the number
1 to 19 and will deactivate on the ‘ ’ position. Before
actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material
or a piece of duplicate material to determine which
torque is required for a particular application.
Gear Selection, Mechanical
Actuate the gear selector (4) only when the
machine is at a full stop.
Two speed ranges can be used with the gear selector
(4).
Gear 1:
Low speed range (0-400 RPM): for screw driving or
working with large drilling diameter.
Gear 2:
High speed range (0-1300 RPM); for working with
small drilling diameter.
If the gear selector (4) cannot be fully engaged, lightly
rotate the driver spindle with the drill bit by twisting
the drill chuck.
Adjusting the Speed
The speed of the machine can be variably adjusted,
depending on how far the On/Off switch (1) is
pressed. Light pressure on the On/Off switch (1)
results in a low rotational speed. Heavy pressure on
the switch results in increased speed.
Power Light
The power light (11) in the front of battery pack will
light up when pushing ‘ON ’ button and enables
illumination of the screwing location in unfavorable
light conditions. Push ‘OFF ’ button to switch off the
power light.
Run-on Brake
When the On/Off switch (1) is released, the chuck
brakes to a stop, thus preventing the run-on of the
machine. When driving in screw, wait until the screw
is screwed in flush with the material and then release
the On/Off switch (1). By doing so, the head of the
screw does not penetrate into the material.
Operating Instructions
Apply the machine to the screw only when it is
switched off. Rotating tool inserts can slip off and
lead to injuries.
CAUTION!
