OPERATION
R86039 IMPACT DRIVER
Auto Stop Mode:
The forward setting of Auto Stop Mode offers protection
from over-tightening machined fasteners. It allows for greater
control, reducing damage to fasteners and work surfaces.
 While in Auto Stop Mode (forward setting), the tool will
automatically shut down once it starts impacting.
The reverse setting of Auto Stop Mode offers additional
protection to machined fasteners during removal. It allows
for greater control, reducing damage to fasteners and work
surfaces.
 While in Auto Stop Mode (reverse setting), the tool will
automatically shut down after impacting has completed.
TRI-BEAM LED LIGHTS
See Figure 6, page 15.
The LED lights around the coupler illuminate when either the
switch trigger or LED grip light switch is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
lights to start fading and then shut off.
The LED lights illuminate only when there is a charged bat-
tery pack in the tool.

USING THE IMPACT DRIVER
See Figures 7 - 8, page 15.
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.
NOTICE:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as
a drill.
 Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
 Hold the impact driver with one hand.
 Place the bit on the screw head, bolt head, or nut and
slowly depress the switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for
more control.
 As the screw, bolt, or nut is driven, impacting will begin.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
