OPERATION
SPEED/TORQUE SELECTOR
See Figure 3, page 8.
The speed and torque of the impact driver can be changed
for various applications.
LOW (1) Speed/Torque (0-1000 RPM/420 in. lbs)
MEDIUM (2) Speed/Torque (0-2000 RPM/1360 in. lbs)
HIGH (3) Speed/Torque (0-2750 RPM/2300 in. lbs)
NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the tool.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 4, page 8.
To install:
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
(forward/reverse/center lock) selector in center position.
Align raised rib on battery pack with the groove inside
the impact driver.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and battery pack is secured before begin-
ning operation.
To remove:
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in center position.
Depress the latches on the sides of the battery pack.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figure 5, page 8.
To install bits
, remove the battery pack from the tool.
Push the bit into the coupler until it clicks into place.
NOTE:
If the bit does not insert easily into the coupler,
pull the coupler forward and reinsert the bit.
Pull on the bit to make sure it is secured in the coupler.
There may be some play in the installed bit; this is normal.
NOTE:
Use only impact quality bits with a locking groove.
WARNING:
Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before
using the impact driver. Failure to do so could
cause serious personal injury.
To remove bits
, remove the battery pack from the tool.
With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, pull the
coupler away from the driver.
The bit will eject from the coupler.
TRI-BEAM LED LIGHTS
See Figure 6, page 8.
The LED lights around the coupler illuminate when either the
switch trigger or LED grip light switch is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
lights to start fading and then shut off.
The LED lights illuminate only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.
USING THE IMPACT DRIVER
See Figures 7 - 8, page 9.
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 wire 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.

Spanish language sections. Illustrations start on page 8.
