Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection
system. This system automatically cuts off power to
the motor to extend tool and battery life. The tool will
automatically stop during operation if the tool is placed
under one of the following conditions:
Overheat protection
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automatically. In
this situation, let the tool cool before turning the tool on again.
Overdischarge protection
When the battery capacity is not enough, the tool stops
automatically. In this case, charge the battery.
Switch action

CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.
NOTICE:
Change the direction only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction
of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.

The tool can be used in two ways; a straight shape and
a pistol shape which are selectable according to the
conditions of workplace and screwdriving.
Screwdriving operation

NOTICE:
Make sure that the driver bit is inserted
straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or bit
