Reversing switch action
► Fig.6: 1. Reversing switch lever
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of
rotation before operation.

To change the speed, switch off the tool first. Select
the "2" side for high speed or "1" for low speed but high

correct position before operation.
If the tool speed is coming down extremely during the
operation with "2", slide the lever to the "1" and restart
the operation.

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 21 levels by
turning the adjusting ring. Align the graduations with the
arrow on the tool body. You can get the minimum fas-
tening torque at 1 and maximum torque at 21.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to deter-
mine which torque level is required for a particular
application.
NOTE: The adjusting ring does not lock when the
pointer is positioned only halfway between the
graduations.
ASSEMBLY

Installing hook

WARNING:
Use the hanging/mounting parts
for their intended purposes only, e.g., hanging the
tool on a tool belt between jobs or work intervals.
WARNING:
Be careful not to overload the
hook as too much force or irregular overburden
may cause damages to the tool resulting in per-
sonal injury.
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.
CAUTION:
Make sure to hang the tool
securely before releasing your hold. Insufficient
or unbalanced hooking may cause falling off and you
may be injured.
► Fig.11: 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.
