Reversing switch action
Fig.6
CAUTION:
•
Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.
•
Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
•
When not operating the tool, always set the
reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for
counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Speed change
Fig.7
CAUTION:
•
Always set the speed change lever fully to the
correct position. If you operate the tool with the
speed change lever positioned halfway between the
"1" side and "2" side, the tool may be damaged.
•
Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is
running. The tool may be damaged.
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high
speed or "1" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed
change lever is set to the correct position before
operation. Use the right speed for your job.
Selecting the action mode
Fig.8
This tool employs an action mode changing ring. Select
one of the three modes suitable for your work needs by
using this ring.
For rotation only, turn the ring so that the arrow on the
tool body points toward the
mark on the ring.
For rotation with hammering, turn the ring so that the
arrow points toward the
mark on the ring.
For rotation with clutch, turn the ring so that the arrow
points toward the
mark on the ring.
CAUTION:
•
Always set the ring correctly to your desired mode
mark. If you operate the tool with the ring
positioned halfway between the mode marks, the
tool may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque
Fig.9
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by turning
the adjusting ring so that the graduations are aligned with
the arrow on the tool body. The fastening torque is minimum
when the number 1 is aligned with the arrow, and maximum
when the number 16 is aligned with the arrow.
Before the 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.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the driver bit or drill bit
Fig.10
Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck
jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn
the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
Installing the hook
Fig.11
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.
Installing the bit holder (Optional accessory)
Fig.12
Fit the 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 bit holders.
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 part on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury
to you or someone around you.
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.
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
•
There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole
break-through, when the hole becomes clogged
with chips and particles, or when striking
reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the
marking. The
adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque levels for this
operation.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
