locations where the temperature may reach or

exceed 50°C (122°F).

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely

discharged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the battery

cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.

Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3. Charge the battery cartridge with room

temperature at 10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F). Let a hot

battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or

checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing battery cartridge

(Fig. 1)

• Always switch off the tool before installing or removing

of the battery cartridge.

• To remove the battery cartridge, slide it from the tool

while sliding the button on the front of the cartridge.

• To install the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the

battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip

it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in

place with a little click. If you can see the red indicator

on the upper side of the button, it is not locked

completely. Install it fully until the red indicator cannot

be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool,

causing injury to you or someone around you.

• Do not use force when installing the battery cartridge. If

the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being

inserted correctly.

Battery protection system

The battery cartridge is equipped with the protection

system, which automatically cuts off the output power for

its long service life.

The tool stops during operation when the tool and/or

battery are placed under the following situation. This is

caused by the activation of protection system and does

not show the tool trouble.

• When the tool is overloaded:

At this time, release the switch trigger, remove the

battery cartridge and remove causes of overload and

then pull the switch trigger again to restart.

• When battery cells get hot:

If any operation of the switch trigger, the motor will

remain stopped. At this time, stop use of the tool and

cool the battery cartridge.

• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:

If you pull the switch trigger, the motor runs again but

stops soon. In this case, to prevent over discharge,

remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge

it.

Switch action (Fig. 2)

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed

is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger.

Release the switch trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 3)

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of

rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A

side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for

counterclockwise rotation.

When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,

the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

CAUTION:

• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.

• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a

complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation

before the tool stops may damage the tool.

• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing

switch lever to the neutral position.

Speed change (Fig. 4)

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then

slide the speed change lever to the “2” side for high speed

or “1” side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change

lever is set to the correct position before operation. Use

the right speed for your job.

CAUTION:

• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct

position. If you operate the tool with the speed change

lever positioned halfway between the “1” side and “2”

side, the tool may be damaged.

• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is

running. The tool may be damaged.

Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 5)

The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 steps by

turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are

aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening

torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the

pointer, and maximum when the marking is aligned with

the pointer.
