ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT

INSERTING AND REMOVING BITS (FIG. C)
• Pull the sleeve (11) forwards and insert a hex shank screwdriver bit or drill bit (10).
• Release the sleeve.
• To remove the bit, pull the sleeve forwards and pull the bit out of the holder.
PIVOTING THE TOOL HEAD (FIG. D, E, F)
The head of the tool can be pivoted for optimum versatility.
• Press the pivot release button (3).
• Pivot the tool head to one of the three preset pivot positions.
• Release the button.
PIVOTING SCREWDRIVER WARNINGS:
• To avoid being pinched at the areas indicated with black
arrows, hold the screwdriver at both ends and use your
thumb to depress the pivot release button (3) when
changing positions.
• Do not use screwdriver as a pry bar in any position.
• To avoid screwdriver being turned on accidentally, do not
carry in your pocket.
TORQUE CONTROL (FIG.G)
Your screwdriver is equipped with an adjustable clutch control feature. When the tool
reaches the preselected torque setting the clutch slips, thus limiting how tightly a screw is
driven.
• The tool's motor will continue to run as long as the switch button is depressed.
• To set the tool's torque, rotate the adjustable clutch collar (4) clockwise or
counterclockwise as required. The higher the number, the higher the torque. Each click in
a clockwise direction (facing the spindle) means an increase in the torque produced.
FORWARD/REVERSE/LOCK OFF SLIDER (FIG. H)
• To select forward or reverse rotation, use the forward/reverse slider (2) (see arrows on
the slider).
NOTE: When the slider is in the central position the tool is locked off to prevent accidental
actuation or battery discharge.
TWO GEAR SELECTOR (FIG. I)
Your tool is equipped with a two gear selector (5) to vary the speed/torque ratio.
1 - low speed/high torque (approximately 200 rpm)
2 - high speed/low torque (approximately 600 rpm)
NOTE: Always push the two gear selector completely forward or backward.
• Do not change gears at full speed or during use.
