INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figure 4, page 11.
The AUTO-LOAD CHUCK provides fast, easy one-handed
bit loading and ejecting.
The coupler has been designed to accept 1/4 in. hex bits.
To install:
 Lock switch trigger on the tool by placing the direction
of rotation selector in center position.
 Remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Push the bit into the coupler until it clicks into place.
 Pull on the bit to make sure it is secured in the coupler.
There may be some play in the installed bit; this is normal.
NOTE: Use only impact quality bits with a locking groove.
WARNING:
Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before using
the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious
personal injury.
To remove:
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in the center position.
 Remove the battery pack from the impact driver.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, pull the
coupler away from the driver.
 The bit will eject from the coupler.

OPERATION

WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be hidden
wiring behind the surface. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator. If you must drive a screw where hidden wire
could be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to
prevent a shock to the operator.
CAUTION:
The impact driver is not designed to be used as a drill.
DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS
See Figures 5 - 6, page 11.
 Place the direction of rotation selector in the correct
position for the operation.
 Hold the impact driver with one hand.
 Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the
switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.
NOTE: The TRI-BEAM LED will illuminate as the trigger is
depressed.
 As the screw is driven, impacting will begin.
