INSTALL AND REMOVE
BITS(Fig.5)
TIGH TEN AND
LOOSEN NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable-speed control must be used
with caution for driving nuts and
bolts with socket set attachments.
The best technique is to start slowly,
increase speed as the nut or bolt
runs down, and then set the nut or
bolt snugly by slowing the tool to a
stop. If this procedure is not
followed, the tool will have a
tendency to torque or twist in your
hand when the nut or bolt seats.
NOTICE:
•
Always use the correct type and
size of bit for your application.
•
When turning in a screw at/near
the cross-cut end or an edge of
wood, predrill a hole in order to
avoid cracking of the wood.
•
When screw driving in hard wood,
one should pre-drill a hole.
WARNING:
Do not over-tighten,
as the force of the impact driver can
break the fastener. Keep the impact
driver at a right angle to the fastener
to avoid damaging the fastener head.

Pull the locking sleeve forward,
insert the bit as far as it will go into
the collet, and release the locking

grooves; other bits can be used with a
universal bit holder that has power
groove. Do not use bits that have a
damaged shank.

when removing the bit from the tool,
or first allow the bit to cool down.
The bit may be hot after prolonged
use.
