This product will accept Craftsman_ 19.2 V lithium-ion bat-
tery packs and Craftsman 19.2 V nickel-cadmium battery
packs.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the Opera-
tor's Manual for your Craftsman battery pack and charger
models.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Craftsman 19.2 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with
features that protect the lithium-ion ceils and maximize
battery life. Under some operating conditions, these built-
in features may cause the battery and the tool it is power-
ing to act
differently from nickel-cadmium batteries.
During some applications, the battery electronics may
signal the battery to shut down, and cause the tool to stop
running. To reset the battery and tool, release the trigger
and resume normal operation.
NOTE: To prevent further shut down of the battery, avoid
forcing the tool.
If releasing the trigger does not reset the battery and
tool, the battery pack is depleted. If depleted, the battery
pack will begin charging when placed on the lithium-ion
charger.
C3 ENERGY INDICATOR WINDOW
See Figure 1, page L
The C3 energy indicator window located on the side of the
handle, just above the base, will light when the 113710
Craftsman
19.2 V lithium-ion battery pack is installed and has
charge.
NOTE: Feature will not light with Craftsman 19.2 V nickel-
cadmium battery packs.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 2, page i.
To turn the driver ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn
it OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 2, page L
This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher
speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is con-
trolled by the amount of switch trigger depression.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a
normal part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 2, page i,
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the
impact driver held in normal operating position, the direc-
tion of rotation selector should be positioned to the left
of the switch trigger for driving. The driving direction is
reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch
trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always al-
low the coupler to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation.
To stop the impact driver, release the switch trigger and
allow the coupler to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The impact driver will not run unless the direction
of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the driver at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the driver to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the driver by running it without a load and at full speed.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page L
To install the battery pack:
[] Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rota-
tion (forward/reverse/center lock) selector in center
position.
[] Align raised rib on battery pack with the groove inside
the impact driver.
