OPERATION
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 10.
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in the center position.
 Remove the battery pack from the impact driver.
 Pull the coupler away from the driver.
 Remove driver bit from the coupler.
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 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, as seen in figure 11.
CAUTION:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as
a drill.
DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS
See Figures 11 - 12.
 Place the direction of rotation selector in the correct
position for the operation.
 Hold the impact driver with one hand.
 Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the
switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.
 As screw is driven, impacting will begin.
