Indicating remaining battery capacity (Fig. 5)
When you pull the switch trigger, the battery indicator
shows the remaining battery capacity.
The remaining battery capacity is shown as the following
table.
Battery indicator status
: On
: Off
: Blinking
015175
NOTE:
• Approximately one minute after the motor stops, the
indicators go off to save the battery power. To check
the remaining battery capacity, slightly pull the switch
trigger.
Tool / battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection
system. This system automatically cuts off power to the
motor to extend tool and battery life.
The tool will automatically stop during operation if the
tool or battery are placed under one of the following
conditions. In some conditions, the indicator lights up.
Overload protection
When the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to
draw an abnormally high current, the tool automatically
stops without any indications. In this situation, turn the
tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to
become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.
Overheat protection for tool
When the tool is overheated, the tool stops automatically
and the battery indicator shows following state. In this
situation, let the tool cool before turning the tool on again.

Reversing switch action (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction
of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
position (A side) for clockwise rotation or the
(B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
Depth adjustment (Fig. 7 & 8)
The depth can be adjusted by turning the locator. Turn it
in "B" direction for less depth and in "A" direction for more
depth. One full turn of the locator equals 2 mm change in
depth.
Adjust the locator so that the distance between the tip of
the locator and the screw head is approximately 3 mm as
shown in the figures. Drive a trial screw into your material
or a piece of duplicate material. If the depth is still not
suitable for the screw, continue adjusting until you obtain
the proper depth setting.
Hook (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
• Always remove the battery when hanging the tool with
the hook.
• Never hook the tool at high location or on potentially
unstable surface.
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.
Installing or removing the bit (Fig. 10 & 11)
To remove the bit, pull the locator. Then grasp the bit with
a pair of pliers and pull the bit out of the magnetic bit
holder. Sometimes, it helps to wiggle the bit with the
pliers as you pull.
To install the bit, push it firmly into the magnetic bit
holder. Then install the locator by pushing it firmly back.
Hook (Fig. 12)
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To
remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
OPERATION
Screwdriving operation (Fig. 13)
Fit the screw on the point of the bit and place the point of
the screw on the surface of the workpiece to be fastened.
Apply pressure to the tool and start it. Withdraw the tool
as soon as the clutch cuts in. Then release the switch
trigger.
