Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 7 & 8)

When you wish to drive machine screws, wood screws,
hex bolts, etc. with the predetermined torque, adjusting
the fastening torque as follows.
1. First remove the battery cartridge from the tool. 
2. Loosen the screws securing the light cover. 
3. Rotate the ring in the front of the tool by hand so that a

hole can be seen below the ring. 

4. Place the battery cartridge in place and pull the switch

trigger. Release it so that the adjusting ring rotates
and becomes visible in the hole. And then remove the
battery cartridge.

5. Use an optional adjusting grip to adjust the fastening

torque. Insert the pin of the adjusting grip into the hole
in the front of the tool. And then, turn the adjusting grip
clockwise to set a greater fastening torque, and coun-
terclockwise to set a smaller fastening torque.

6. Align the edge of the adjusting ring with your desired

number on the fastening torque scale.

7. Insert the battery cartridge and be sure that a fasten-

ing torque has been set up by using a fastening torque
tester.

8. Tighten the screws to secure the light cover and then

rotate the ring in front of the tool until the ring is
locked.

NOTE:

• Numbers on the fastening torque scale is a guideline to

set up your desired fastening torque.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

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

tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.

Selecting correct socket or screw bit

There are different types of sockets or bits for some mod-
els depending on applications. Choose and install a cor-
rect socket or bit for your application.

Installing or removing socket (Fig. 9)

To install the socket, push it onto the square drive of the
tool with one hand by depressing a pin on the square
drive with another hand until it locks into place. To
remove the socket, simply pull it off depressing the pin on
the square drive.

Installing or removing bit (Fig. 10)

For tools with retracting sleeve

To install the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and insert the bit into the sleeve as far as it will go.
Then release the sleeve to secure the bit.
To remove the bit, pull the sleeve in the direction of the
arrow and pull the bit out firmly.

For tools without retracting sleeve

To install the bit, just insert the bit into the spindle as far
as it will go. To remove the bit, pull the bit out firmly.
