MAINTENANCE
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and can be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
DRIVING SCREWS
See Figure 10, page 10.
There are two options for gripping the handle of the screw-
driver, determined by operator comfort and working angle.
The screwdriver has a variable speed switch trigger for
operator control of speed and torque limits.

Check the direction of rotation selector for correct setting
(forward or reverse).
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps if necessary.
Install the battery pack.
Depress the switch trigger to start the screwdriver. Do
not lock the switch ON for jobs where the screwdriver
may need to be stopped suddenly.
Hold the screwdriver firmly and place the bit and screw
at the point to be driven.
