Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
The tool is turned ON and OFF by squeezing and releasing
the trigger switch
1
. The farther the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the tool.
• To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch
1
.
• To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool
is equipped with a brake. The tool will stop as soon as
the trigger switch is fully released.
nOTE:
Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse control button
2
determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side
of the tool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool.
The center position of the control button locks the tool in
the off position. When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
nOTE:
The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Work Light (Fig. A)
There is a work light
7
located on the foot of the tool. The
work light is activated when the trigger switch is depressed,
and will automatically turn off 20 seconds after the trigger
switch is released. If the trigger switch remains depressed,
the work light will remain on.
nOTE:
The work light is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Fastening
WARNING:
Ensure fastener and/or system will
withstand the level of torque generated by the
tool.
Excessive torque may cause breakage and
possible personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press trigger switch switch
1
to start operation.
Always check torque with a torque wrench, as the
fastening torque is affected by many factors including
the following:
Accessory size:
Failure to use the correct accessory size will
cause a reduction in fastening torque.
Bolt size:
Larger bolt diameters generally require higher
fastening torque. Fastening torque will also vary according
to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
Bolt:
Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris
to allow proper fastening torque
Material:
The type of material and surface finish of the
material will affect fastening torque.
