CAUTION
The selection examples shown in Table 5 should be
considered as general standard. As different types of
tightening screws and different materials to be
tightened are used in actual works proper adjustments
are naturally necessary.
When using the driver drill with a machine screw at
HIGH (high speed), a screw may damage or a bit may
loose due to the tightening torque is too strong. Use
the driver drill at LOW (low speed) when using a
machine screw.
NOTE
The use of the battery in a cold condition (below 0
degree Centigrade) can sometimes result in the
weakened tightening torque and reduced amount of
work. This, however, is a temporary phenomenon,
and returns to normal when the battery warms up.
6. Using the light
Pull the trigger switch to light up the light. The light
keeps on lighting while the trigger switch is being
pulled. The light goes out after releasing the trigger
switch. (Fig. 8)
(The light automatically goes out 10 seconds after
releasing the trigger switch.)
CAUTION
Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking
into the light.
If your eye is continuously exposed to the light, your
eye will be hurt.
7. Mounting and dismounting of the bit
(1) Mounting the bit
Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the
counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front)
to open the clip on the keyless chuck. After inserting
a driver bit, etc., into the keyless drill chuck, and
tighten the sleeve by turning it toward the right (in
the clockwise direction as viewed from the front).
(See Fig. 9)
Clutch dial Position
Use for drilling purpose.
1 – 22
Use the bit or socket matching the screw diameter.
1 –
Use after drilling a pilot hole.
Clutch dial Position
For 6 mm or smaller
1 – 22
diameter screws.
For 6.8 mm or smaller
1 –
nominal diameter screws.
For 38 mm or smaller
diameters.
For drilling with a metal working drill bit.

Suggestion
Table 5
Rotating speed selection (Position of the shift knob)
LOW (Low speed)
If the sleeve becomes loose during operation, tighten
it further.
The tightening force becomes stronger when the
sleeve is tightened additionally.
(2) Dismounting the bit
Loosen the sleeve by turning it toward the left (in the
counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front),
and then take out the bit etc. (See Fig. 9)
NOTE
If the sleeve is tightened in a state where the clip of
the keyless chuck is opened to a maximum limit, a
click noise may occur. This is the noise that occurs
when the loosening of the keyless chuck is prevented
and is not a malfunction.
CAUTION
When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve,
use a vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set
the clutch mode between 1 and 11 and then turn the
sleeve to the loose side (left side) while operating the
clutch. It should be easy now to loosen the sleeve.
8. Automatic spindle-lock mechanism
This unit has automatic spindle-lock mechanism for
quick bit changes.
9. Confirm that the battery is mounted correctly
10. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side)
by pushing the R-side of the selector button.
The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn the
bit counterclockwise. (See Fig. 10) (The
marks are provided on the body.)
11. Using the hook (Sold separately)
The hook is used to hang up the power tool to your
waist belt while working.
CAUTION
When using the hook, hang up the power tool firmly
not to drop accidentally.
If the power tool is dropped, it may lead to an accident.
HIGH (High speed)
For 6 mm or smaller
diameter screws.
For 4.8 mm or smaller
nominal diameter screws.
For 24 mm or smaller
diameters screws.
