PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Setting up and checking the work environment
Check if the work environment is suitable by
following the precautions.

HOW TO USE

1. Confirm the cap position (see Fig. 4)
The tightening torque of this unit can be adjusted
according to the cap position, at which the cap is
set.
(1) When using this unit as a screwdriver, line up the
one of the numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the cap, or
the white dots, with the triangle mark on the outer
body.
(2) When using this unit as a drill, align the cap drill
mark " " with the triangle mark on the outer
body.
CAUTIONS
The cap cannot be set between the numerals "1,
3, 5 ... 22" or the white dots.
Do not use with the cap numeral between "22" and
the white line at the middle of the drill mark. Doing
so may cause damage. (See Fig. 5)
2. Tightening torque adjustment
(1) Tightening torque
Tightening torque should correspond in its intensity
to the screw diameter. When too strong torque is
used, the screw head may be broken or be injured.
Be sure to adjust the cap position according to the
screw diameter.
(2) Tightening torque indication
The tightening torque differs depending on the type
of screw and the material being tightened.
The unit indicates the tightening torque with the
numbers "1, 3, 5 ... 22" on the cap, and a white
dots. The tightening toque at position "1" is the

weakest and the torque is strongest at the highest
number. (See Fig. 4)
(3) Adjusting the tightening torque
Rotate the cap and line up the numbers "1, 3, 5,
... 22" on the cap, or the white dots, with the
triangle mark on the outer body. Adjust the cap in
the weak or the strong torque direction according
to the torque you need.
CAUTIONS
The motor rotation may be locked to cease while
the unit is used as drill. While operating the driver
drill, take care not to lock the motor.
Too long hammering may cause the screw broken
due to excessive tightening.
3. Change rotation speed
Operate the shift knob to change the rotational
speed. Move the shift knob in the direction of the
arrow (see Figs. 6 and 7).
When the shift knob is set to "LOW", the drill
rotates at a low speed. When set to "HIGH", the
drill rotates at a high speed.
CAUTION
When changing the rotational speed with the shift
knob, confirm that the switch is off.
Changing the speed while the motor is rotating will
damage the gears.
When setting the shift knob to "HIGH" (high speed)
and the position of the cap is "17" or "22", it may
happen that the clutch does not engage and that
the motor is locked. In such a case, please set the
shift knob to "LOW" (low speed).
If the motor is locked, immediately turn the power
off. If the motor is locked for a while, the motor
or battery may be burnt.
