(2) Dismounting the bit
Firmly grasp the ring and loosen the sleeve by turning
it toward the left (in the counter-clockwise direction as
viewed from the front) (See Fig. 8).
CAUTION
When it is no longer possible to loosen the sleeve, use a
vise or similar instrument to secure the bit. Set the clutch
mode between 1 and 11, and then turn the sleeve to the
loose side (left side) while operating the clutch. It should
be easy now to loosen the sleeve.
7. Confi rm that the battery is mounted correctly
8. Check the rotational direction
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) by
pushing the R-side of the selector button.
The L-side of the selector button is pushed to turn the
bit counterclockwise (See Fig. 9) (The
are provided on the body).
9. Switch operation
○ When the trigger switch is depressed, the tool rotates.
When the trigger is released, the tool stops.
○ The rotational speed of the drill can be controlled by
varying the amount that the trigger switch is pulled.
Speed is low when the trigger switch is pulled slightly
and increases as the trigger switch is pulled more.
NOTE
A buzzing noise is produced when the motor is about to
rotate; This is only a noise, not a machine failure.
10. Using the bit holder
CAUTION
○ Stow the bit in the specifi ed location on the tool. If the
tool is used with the bit stowed improperly, the bit may
fall and cause bodily injury.
○ Do not stow bits that are of a diff erent length, gauge or
dimension than the plus driver bit (65 mm long) included
in the STANDARD ACCESSORIES.
The bit may fall and cause bodily injury.
(1) Removing the bit
Securely hold the main unit and pull out the bit by
holding the tip with your thumb (Fig. 10).
(2) Installing the Bit
Install the bit with steps opposite of when removing.
Insert the bit so that the right and left sides are equal, as
shown in Fig. 11
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the tool
Since use of as dull tool will degrade effi ciency and
cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or replace
the tool as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Cleaning on the outside
When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry
cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
4. Storage
Store the driver drill in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored
for a long period (3 months or more). The battery with
smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when
used, if stored for a long period.
