Lighting up the lamps (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Do not look in the light or see the source of light 

directly.

To turn on the lamp, pull the trigger. Release the trigger to 
turn it off.

NOTE:

• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be 

careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower 
the illumination.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 5)

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.

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of 
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the 

position (A side) for clockwise rotation or the 

 position 

(B side) for counterclockwise rotation.

Hook (Fig. 6)

The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing the bit

To remove the bit, first remove the locator by pulling the 
lock ring away from the gear housing. Then pull the 
magnetic socket bit. 

(Fig. 7)

To install the magnetic socket bit, insert it into the tool as 
far as it will go. Then install the locator by pushing it firmly 
back onto the gear housing. 

(Fig. 8)

OPERATION (Fig. 9)

Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the point of 
the screw on the surface of the workpiece to be fastened. 
Apply pressure to the tool and start it. Withdraw the tool 
as soon as the clutch cuts in. Then release the switch 
trigger.

CAUTION:

• When fitting the screw onto the point of the bit, be 

careful not to push in on the screw. If the screw is 
pushed in, the clutch will engage and the screw will 
rotate suddenly. This could damage a workpiece or 
cause an injury.

• Make sure that the bit is inserted straight in the screw 

head, or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.

• Hold the tool only by the handle when performing an 

operation. Do not touch the metal part.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or 
maintenance.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, 
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
