OPERATION
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figure 5, page 8.
 To install bits, lock the switch trigger by placing the
direction of rotation selector in the center position.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Push the bit into the coupler until it clicks into place.
 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, lock the switch trigger by placing the
direction of rotation selector in the center position.
 Remove the battery pack.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, pull the
coupler away from the driver.
 The bit will eject from the coupler.
USING THE IMPACT DRIVER
See Figures 6 - 7, page 8.
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.
NOTE: Maintenance information begins on page 7
