INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page L
To install the battery pack:
[] Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
(forward/reverse/center lock) selector in center position.
[] Align raised rib on battery pack with the groove inside
the impact driver.
[] Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and battery pack is secured before begin-
ning operation.
WARNING: Always remove battery pack from your
tool when you are assembling parts, making adjust-
ments, cleaning, or when not in use. Removing bat-
tery pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.

WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating
condition. Therefore, the switch should always be
locked when not in use or carrying at your side.
A
CAUTION: The metal surface may become hot dur-
ing use. Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn
injury.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page i.
To turn the driver ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 3, page i.
The variable speed switch delivers higher speed with in-
creased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
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 3, 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.
