screw driving
For driving fasteners, the foward/reverse button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse
(button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to reverse,
or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first. Release trigger when the fastener is at
the desired depth.
note: For best performance, use 2" fasteners or smaller, or screw into pre-drilled holes.
note: The impact mechanism of the screwdriver creates a loud, impacting noise when
extra force is needed. This noise is normal; the screwdriver is not malfunctioning or broken.
iMpact driver warnings:
• Hold the tool as shown in figure d.
• Do not use tool as a pry bar.
• To avoid being turned on accidentally, do not carry in your
pocket.

Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety
