Before operation, always make sure that the lever is correctly set to your
desired mode mark and use the tool at an appropriate speed for your work.
CAUTION:
• When using the action mode change lever, use only when the tool stops.
But when the lever does not easily move, pull the switch trigger slightly to
rotate the spindle and then move the lever.
• Always set the lever correctly to your desired mode mark. If you operate
the tool with the lever positioned halfway between the mode marks, the
tool may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque
007163
(Only for screwdriving operation mode " ")
1
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by turning the adjusting ring
so that its graduations are aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fas-
tening torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer, and
maximum when the number 16 is aligned with the pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 16.

Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of
duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular
application.
NOTE:
• In modes other than screwdriving mode, the adjusting ring can be placed
at any position because it does not work.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the tool.
