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.

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.
Using hole
WARNING:
Never use the hanging hole for
unintended purpose, for instance, tethering the
tool at high location. Bearing stress in a heavily
loaded hole may cause damages to the hole, result-
ing in injuries to you or people around or below you.
► Fig.17: 1. Hanging hole
Use the hanging hole at the bottom rear of the tool to
hang the tool on a wall using a hanging cord or similar
strings.
OPERATION

Driving operation

NOTICE:
Always check the driver bit carefully
for wear before driving operations. Replace a worn
driver bit or poor fastening may result.
NOTICE:
Always hold the tool squarely against
the driving surface. Holding it at an angle may dam-
age the screw heads and cause wear on the driver
bit. This may also lead to poor fastening.
NOTICE:
Always keep the tool firmly against the
driving surface until the driving is over. Failure to
do so may cause insufficient fastening of screws.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to drive a screw onto
another screw already fastened.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the tool without screws.
It will damage the driving surface.
NOTICE:
Do not apply oil or grease on the slid-
ing surface of the feeder box.
Switch on the tool by pulling the switch trigger. Hold the
tool squarely and firmly up against the driving surface. A
screw will be automatically carried to the driving posi-
tion and fastened.

NOTE: While selecting push drive mode and locking
the trigger on, the motor does not rotate under no

and apply forward pressure to the tool.
The screw will be automatically carried to the driving
position and driven at full speed.

Driving in corner
CAUTION:
Driving at a position closer than
15 mm to the wall or driving with the stopper base
in contact with the wall may damage the screw
heads and cause wear on the driver bit. This may
also lead to poor fastening of screws and malfunction
of the tool.
This tool can be used to drive at a position 15 mm away
from the wall as shown in the figure.
