Adjusting the driving depth

Fig.4

Depress the stopper base as far as it will go. While keeping it
in this position, turn the adjusting knob until the bit tip projects
approx. 5 mm from the stopper base. Drive a trial screw. If the
screw head projects above the surface of the workpiece, turn
the adjusting knob in the "A" direction; if the screw head is
counter-sunk, turn the adjusting knob in the "B" direction.

Switch action

Fig.5

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. Release
the switch trigger to stop.

Reversing switch action

Fig.6

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.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

•

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.

the plane bearing, try it again after turning the bit slightly.
To install the bit, insert it into the socket while turning it
slightly. After installing, always make sure that the bit is
securely held in place by trying to pull it out.

Folding screw guide

Fig.13

Screw guide is foldable. Folding the screw guide allows
space used for storage to be minimal.

The carry hook is convenient for temporarily hooking the
tool. It can be installed on either side of the tool.
When removing the carry hook, widen it by pressing its
right ends ON BOTH SIDES in the directions of arrow
(1) and raise it in the direction of the arrow (2).
