SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated
in this instruction manual may cause serious per-
sonal injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, pull out the set plate
on the tool and grasp both sides of the cartridge while
withdrawing it from the tool.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Snap the set plate back into place. Be sure
to close the set plate fully before using the tool.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Installing or removing socket
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing
the socket.
For tool with square drive (Fig. 2 & 3)
Use 9.5 mm square drive socket with a hole for detent pin
which is available on the market. (Note: Use 6.35 mm
square drive socket when using the tool with 6.35 mm
square drive.)
To install the socket, depress the detent pin on the
square drive with your finger and push the socket onto
the square drive until the detent pin is inserted into the
hole in the socket.
To remove the socket, depress the detent pin with a
small hand tool and pull off the socket.
For tool with round drive (Fig. 4)
Use a bit with Form C 6.3 shank which is available on the
market. The bit can be inserted directly into the round
drive and held in place.
To install the bit, push it firmly into the round drive.
To remove the bit, grasp it with a pair of pliers and pull it
out of the round drive. Sometimes, it helps to wiggle the
bit with the pliers as you pull.
Switch action (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 5)
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.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Slide the reversing switch up for clockwise
rotation or slide it down for counterclockwise rotation.
Overload protector
For 6704D
The overload protector automatically cuts out to break
the circuit whenever heavy work is prolonged. Wait 20 –
30 seconds before resuming operation.
Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 6)
The fastening torque can be adjusted infinitely from
approx. 20 kg cm to 80 kg cm. To adjust it, loosen the two
screws and turn the adjusting ring. Then tighten the
screws to secure the adjusting ring. Refer to the table
below for relation between the numbers on the adjusting
ring and the fastening torque to be obtained.

(Example)
35 kg cm of fastening torque can be obtained when the
number 2 is aligned to the red mark.
NOTE:
• Always tighten the two screws to secure the adjusting
ring after adjusting the fastening torque.
• The fastening torque may differ depending upon the
kind of screws, the type of materials to be fastened,
etc. Before starting your job, always perform a test
operation to verify the adequate fastening torque.
Installing set plate (Fig. 7)
Always install the set plate when using battery cartridges
9100, 9102 or 9102A. Install the set plate on the machine
with the screw provided as shown in Fig. 7.
Operation
The proper fastening torque may differ depending upon
the kind or size of screws, the type of materials to be fas-
tened, the condition of the threads, etc. Before starting
your job, always perform a test operation to verify ade-
quate fastening torque.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands whenever possible
and place the socket over the bolt or nut. Then turn the
tool on. As soon as the bolt or nut becomes tight, the
clutch will cut in and the motor will stop automatically.
Release the switch trigger.
When fastening tool screws, use the proper screwdriver
bit shown in Fig. 8. It is commonly available on the mar-
ket.
