TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Title Section 1 - Important Safety Instructions ........................................ 1 Section 2 - Grounding Instructions ..................................................
SECTION 1 - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Work Area: 1-1 Keep your work area clean and unobstructed. - Cluttered and poorly lit work areas invite accidents. 1-2 Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. - Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 1-3 Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. - Distractions can cause you to lose control of the tool. 2.
2-5 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to yank the tool from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Immediately replace damaged cords. - Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. 2-6 When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". - These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. 3.
4. Tool Use and Care: 4-1 Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. - Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control and injury. 4-2 Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. - Operate the tool within its design parameters. The correct tool will do the job better and safer. 4-3 Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn the tool on or off.
5. Service: 5-1 Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. - Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 5-2 When servicing a tool, use only factory provided replacement parts. - Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury. 5-3 Check damaged parts.
SECTION 2 - GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 1. The tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. Notice! To ensure proper grounding, the grounding conductor of the controller power cord must be well connected to the grounding terminal of the power facility. The tool is equipped with a threeconductor cord and three-prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
SECTION 3 - OPERATOR CAUTIONS 1. When changing a bit, make certain the Forward / Reverse switch is in the "OFF" position and the tool is unplugged. 2. Do not allow chemicals such as acetone, benzene, thinner, trichloroethylene, ketone, or other similar chemicals to come in contact with the screwdriver housing or damage will result. 3. Do not drop or abuse the screwdriver. 4. Do not adjust the torque setting higher than 8 on the torque scale. 5.

SECTION 5 – BIT CHANGING AND SCREWDRIVER OPERATION Attaching / Detaching Bits and Types of Bits: Push the bit holder clamp up with your finger tip, and it will unlock the bit. The bit can be freely attached and detached (single finger motion type). Select a power drive hex bit with a shank equal to the size shown below. Shape of Bit: 6.35mm Hex Basic Screwdriver Operation: Insert the power plug into a receptacle and set the direction switch to the forward “F” position.
SECTION 6 - TORQUE ADJUSTMENT OPERATION The screwdriver tightens a screw until the torque level set by the torque adjusting ring is reached. When the torque level is reached, power is automatically removed from the motor. To adjust the screwdriver's torque, follow the procedure outlined below: 1. Increase or decrease the torque level by rotating the torque adjusting ring by hand. Rotating the ring clockwise to a higher number increases the torque level.
CAUTION 1. For reverse rotation, the clutch turns the motor off in the same manner it does for the forward rotation. Accordingly, when a screw is tightened at a high torque, and it cannot be backed out because the motor turns off, set the torque level to a higher torque setting to back the screw out. 2. The numbers from zero to eight on the torque adjusting ring are reference only numbers and not an exact indication of actual torque output. 3.
SECTION 7 - PRODUCT ACCESSORIES The following items are included with each unit sold: • • • Two (2) Phillips 6.
SECTION 8 - SERVICING Maintenance and Inspection: 1. The screwdriver must be operated in peak condition, and the working day must not exceed more than eight hours. 2. Periodically check for wear of the motor's carbon brushes. If the brushes have worn down by 2-3mm, replace them with a new brush assembly. Brush life depends on the operation frequency and torque output. The greater the use and higher the torque, the more rapidly the brushes will wear. Expect to replace the brushes every 5-6 months. 3.
CAUTION 1. The use of other than genuine Dixon Automatic Tool Light Tools replacement parts may result in decreased tool performance and increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties. 2. All repairs of this tool must be performed by an authorized service center. 3. Dixon Automatic Tool Inc. is not responsible for customer modification of tools for applications on which Dixon Automatic Tool Inc. was not consulted. 4. Repairs should be made only by authorized, trained personnel.
