Arrow
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 22 levels by turning the adjusting ring. Align the graduations with the arrow
on the tool body. You can get the minimum fastening torque at 1 and maximum torque at
marking.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 21. The clutch does not work at
the
marking.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate material to determine which
torque level is required for a particular application.
The following shows the rough guide of the relationship between the screw size and graduation.

Installing hook
WARNING:
Use the hanging/mounting parts
for their intended purposes only, e.g., hanging the
tool on a tool belt between jobs or work intervals.
WARNING:
Be careful not to overload the
hook as too much force or irregular overburden
may cause damages to the tool resulting in per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly.
If not, the hook
may come off from the tool and result in the personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Make sure to hang the tool
securely before releasing your hold.
Insufficient
or unbalanced hooking may cause falling off and you
may be injured.

Screw
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install
the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on
either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove,
loosen the screw and then take it out.
Using hole
WARNING:
Never use the hanging hole for
unintended purpose, for instance, tethering the
tool at high location.
Bearing stress in a heavily
loaded hole may cause damages to the hole, result
-
ing in injuries to you or people around or below you.

Driver bit
Fit the driver bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot
on either right or left side and secure it with a screw.
When not using the driver bit, keep it in the driver bit
holders. Driver bits 45 mm-long can be kept there.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always insert the battery cartridge
all the way until it locks in place.
If you can see the
red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not
locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator
cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of
the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
CAUTION:
When the speed comes down
extremely, reduce the load or stop the tool to
avoid the tool damage.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to
control the twisting action.
