Installing hook

CAUTION:
When installing the hook, always
secure it with the screw firmly. If not, the hook
may come off from the tool and result in the personal
injury.
► Fig.10: 1. Groove 2. Hook 3. Screw
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install
the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on
either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove,
loosen the screw and then take it out.
Installing driver bit holder
Optional accessory
► Fig.11: 1. Driver bit holder 2. Driver bit
Fit the driver bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot

Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular applica-

OPERATION

CAUTION:
all the way until it locks in place. If you can see the
red indicator on the upper side of the button, it is not
locked completely. Insert it fully until the red indicator
cannot be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of
the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
CAUTION:
extremely, reduce the load or stop the tool to
avoid the tool damage.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to
control the twisting action.

and/or driver bit may be damaged.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger
as soon as the clutch cuts in.
NOTE: When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole
2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.
