Tips for maintaining maximum battery life
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice less
tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room
temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge
when you do not use it for more than six months.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 3)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Slide the reversing switch to the right (appear "F"
marking) for clockwise rotation or to the left (appear "R"
marking) for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
Speed change (Fig. 4)
To change the speed, turn the speed change knob so that
the arrow of the desired speed on the knob is aligned with
the reference arrow on the tool body. If the speed change
knob does not turn easily, switch on the tool and turn the
knob again while the tool is running under no load. Be

is minimum when the pointer points to the number 1 and
maximum when it points to the
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the
number 1 to 5. The clutch is designed not to slip at the
marking.
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 application.
NOTE:
• The adjusting ring does not lock when the pointer is
positioned only halfway between the numbers.
Overload protector
The overload protector automatically cuts out to break the
circuit whenever heavy work is prolonged. Wait 20 - 30
