USING THE IMPACT DRIVER
See Figures 6 - 7, page 11 (R86002).
NOTICE:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as
a drill.
WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be
hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and possibly shock the operator. If you
must drive a screw where hidden wires may be
present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation
to prevent a shock to the operator.
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
Hold the impact driver with one hand.
Place the bit on the screw head, bolt head, or nut and
slowly depress the switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for
more control.
As the screw, bolt, or nut is driven, impacting will begin.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake will stop the bit rotation after the operator
releases the switch trigger.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
