► Fig.7: 1. Hard 2. Soft 3. Reverse rotation auto stop
mode 4. Changed in three steps 5. Button
The function of Reverse rotation auto stop mode works only with pulling the trigger fully in counterclockwise tool
rotation. When the bolt/nut gets enough loosened, the tool stops the impact and rotation.
You can change the impact force within approximately one minute after releasing the switch trigger.

NOTE: Reverse rotation auto stop mode is available only when the tool rotates counterclockwise. When rotating
clockwise in Reverse rotation auto stop mode, the impact force and speed are the same as Hard impact mode.
NOTE: When all lamps on the switch panel go out, the tool is turned off to save the battery power. The impact force
grade can be checked by pulling the switch trigger to the extent that the tool does not operate.
NOTE: While pulling the switch trigger, the impact force grade cannot be changed.
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.
Selecting correct impact socket
Always use the correct size impact socket for bolts and nuts.
An incorrect size impact socket will result in inaccurate and
inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage to the bolt or nut.

For impact socket with O-ring and pin
► Fig.9: 1. Impact socket 2. O-ring 3. Pin
Move the O-ring out of the groove in the impact socket
and remove the pin from the impact socket. Fit the
impact socket onto the square drive so that the hole in
the impact socket is aligned with the hole in the square
drive.
Insert the pin through the hole in the impact socket and
square drive. Then return the O-ring to the original posi-
