Depress the stopper base as far as it will go. While
keeping it in this position, turn the adjusting knob until
the bit tip projects approx. 5 mm from the stopper base.
Drive a trial screw. If the screw head projects above the
surface of the workpiece, turn the adjusting knob in the
"A" direction; if the screw head is counter-sunk, turn the
adjusting knob in the "B" direction.
Switch action

CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the

actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
Reversing switch action
► Fig.7: 1. Reversing switch lever
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the
A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for coun-
terclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi-
tion, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the
reversing switch lever to the neutral position.
