Use and Care Manual

OPERATION

CLEANING

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come

in contact with the plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious

personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster are subject to accelerated

wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,

brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these

types of materials. However if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool

using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

This tool is permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no additional lubrication.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL SCREWDRIVING

1. Clamp your workpiece down.

2. Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into harder woods.

3. Exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw. Let the tool do the work.

4. Use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance.

5. When driving nuts or bolts first hand feed the connectors to avoid cross threading. Do not overdrive connec-

tors.

6. When removing connectors that are stuck together, toggle the direction of the impact driver between trigger

pulls to help break it loose. This is especially useful in rusted or old bolts.

GENERAL DRILLING

1. Clamp your workpiece down. Exert enough pressure to start the drill bit. Once the drill has entered the work-

piece, keep drilling. Do not force or stall the bit. Do not bend or twist the bit. Let the tool and the drill bit do the

work. If driving into soft metal, be careful when the fastener is close to the surface so you don’t force the fastener

completely through.

2. Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding when the bit breaks through.
