CAUTION:
The action mode changing knob may not be turned
•
to your desired mode mark when the tool is not
running. In this case, pull the switch trigger half-way
and turn the knob while the tool is running under no
load at low speed.
Always set the knob fully to your desired mode
•
mark. If you operate the tool with the knob
positioned half-way between the mode marks, the
tool may be damaged.
Torque limiter
The torque limiter will actuate when a certain torque level
is reached. The motor will disengage from the output
shaft. When this happens, the bit will stop turning.
CAUTION:
As soon as the torque limiter actuates, switch off
•
the tool immediately. This will help prevent
premature wear of the tool.
Hole saws, core bits, diamond core bits, etc. cannot
•
be used with this tool. They tend to pinch or catch
easily in the hole. This will cause the torque limiter
to actuate too frequently.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
