1. Set the Manual Switch to Neutral.
2. Press and hold the trigger for 5 seconds. The blue LED starts blinking 5 times and turns off.
3. Release the trigger and set the driver to the desired position, (F) Forward, or (R) Reverse.
4. Operate driver as required.
5. For the maximum number of cycles per charge, use the LOW setting.
6. To increase productivity, the HIGH speed setting may be used only for thread sizes 6-32 and
above. WARNING: Using HIGH speed on smaller sizes will cause premature wear and/or
damage to the tools.
1. Insert a fully charged battery into the back of the driver while the manual switch is set to the
Netural position. Snap it in place.
2. Ensure that the Hex Shaft Magnet (see Figure 2) is located inside the drive shaft. If not, insert the
magnet so the threads are visible inside the drive shaft. Lightly tap to place to the correct depth.
3. Push back the Locking Sleeve, insert the Mandrel into the shaft, and release the Locking Sleeve.
4. Set the KFS-30 to the desired speed setting and adjust the torque (see page 2).
5. Ensure the Manual Switch is set to the (F) Forward position.
6. For detailed instructions and information, please refer to the 2KHE or KHE series instructions.
1. Insert a fully charged battery into the back of the driver while the manual switch is set to the
Netural position. Snap it in place.
2. Ensure that the Hex Shaft Magnet (See Figure 2) is NOT located inside the drive shaft. If so,
thread the Magnet Removal Screw into the magnet and pull out. Place components aside.
3. Remove the Protective Collar and thread the Prewinder Adapter onto the KFS-30 driver (Left
Hand Threads).
4. Remove the Retainer Nut from the Prewinder Adapter (Left Hand Threads).
5. Insert the Front-End Assembly and thread the Retainer Nut back onto the Prewinder Adapter.
6. Set the KFS-30 to the desired speed setting and adjust the torque (see page 2).
7. Ensure the Manual Switch is set to the (F) Forward position.
8. For detailed instructions and information, please refer to the 2KPE or KPE series instructions.
1. Set the KFS-30 to the lowest possible torque setting. To increase the torque, turn the Torque
Adjustment Knob clockwise. To decrease the torque, turn the Torque Adjustment Knob
counterclockwise, See Figure 2.
2. Turn the Torque Adjustment Knob half a turn and gradually increase until the minimum
installation torque is reached. Note: Always use the minimum amount of torque that will
install the insert. This will reduce the possibility of damaging the Mandrel or Pawl and
extend tool’s life.
The KFS-30 driver can be set to LOW or HIGH, depending on the size being installed. To switch the
speed settings from LOW to HIGH or vice versa:
For insert installation, the manual switch should always be set in the (F) Forward position. The driver
will reverse direction automatically once the insert is installed properly and the installation torque is
adjusted correctly. If the switch is set to Neutral, the KFS-30 will not operate.

TIPS & TRICKS
Having difficulty? Try one or more of
these helpful tips:
• If the insert cannot find the lead
thread, tap the Trigger a few times to
help facilitate installation.
• To optimize installation and reduce
tool wear, consider increasing the
minor diameter of the tapped hole
from mean to top limit.
• Use the KATO Linear or Articulating
Torque Arm to ensure the tool is
perpendicular to the work surface.
