Screwdriving operation
CAUTION: Adjust the adjusting ring to the
proper torque level for your work.
CAUTION: Make sure that the driver bit is
inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw
and/or driver bit may be damaged.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
applypressuretothetool.Thenswitchthetoolon.
Whentheclutchcutsin,themotorwillstopautomati-
cally.Thenreleasetheswitch.
NOTE:Whendrivingwoodscrew,pre-drillapilothole
2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier
and prevents splitting of the workpiece.
Drilling operation
First,turntheadjustingringsothatthearrowpointsto
the marking.Thenproceedasfollows.
Drilling in wood
Whendrillinginwood,thebestresultsareobtained
withwooddrillsequippedwithaguidescrew.Theguide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into
the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
Topreventthedrillbitfromslippingwhenstartinga
hole,makeanindentationwithacenter-punchand
hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the
drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.
Useacuttinglubricantwhendrillingmetals.Theexcep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool
will not speed up the drilling.Infact,thisexcessive
pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill
bit,decreasethetoolperformanceandshortenthe
service life of the tool.
CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly and exert care
when the drill bit begins to break through the
workpiece.Thereisatremendousforceexertedon
the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
CAUTION: A stuck drill bit can be removed
simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse
rotation in order to back out. However, the tool
may back out abruptly if you do not hold it rmly.
CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a
vise or similar hold-down device.
CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
Using the tool as a hand screwdriver
Switch off the tool.
Move the lock lever to the locked position .
Turnthetool.
NOTICE: Use the tool with a fastening torque less
than5N•m(3.7ft•lbs).
NOTICE: Do not use the tool for work requiring
excessiveforce,suchastighteningboltM6orbolts
greater than M6 or removing rusted screws.
NOTE:Thisuseisconvenientforcheckingthe
screwdriving.
