To change the speed, switch off the tool first. Push the speed
change lever to display "2" for high speed or "1" for low speed
but high torque. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to
the correct position before operation.
If the tool speed is coming down extremely during the

and restart the operation.
Selecting the action mode
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.

ficulty to slide the action mode changing ring. In
this case, switch on and run the tool for a second
at the "
" position, then stop the tool and slide

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 21 levels by
turning the adjusting ring. Align the graduations with the
arrow on the tool body. You can get the minimum fas-
tening torque at 1 and maximum torque at 21.
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 applica-
tion. The following shows the rough guide of the rela-
tionship between the screw size and graduation.
