control switch is in the center locked position. Always
lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before
performing maintenance, changing accessories,
storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
Battery Pack Protection
To protect the battery from damage and extend
its life, the tool’s intelligent circuit monitors current
draw, temperature, and voltage drops.
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short
circuit situations that cause high current draw, the
tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge
will flash, and then the tool will turn OFF. To reset,
release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal tem-
perature of the battery could become too high.
If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash and the
battery pack will shut off. Let the battery pack cool
and then continue work.
Using the Adjustable Clutch
This tool has an adjustable
clutch for driving different types
of screws into different materi-
als. When properly adjusted,
the clutch will slip at a preset
torque to prevent driving the
screw too deep and to prevent
damage to the screw or tool.
To adjust the clutch, turn the
clutch adjusting ring so that
the desired setting (1-15) lines
NOTE:
Because the settings shown in the table are
only a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test
the different clutch settings before driving screws
into the workpiece.
Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when
the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow
the motor to come to a complete stop before using
the control switch.
