INSERTING AND REMOVING BITS (FIG. 2)
WARNING: Remove the battery or set the
forward/reverse switch (6) in central (neutral) position.
Inserting the bit:
1. Pull the locking sleeve (1) forward.
2. Insert the bit into the hexagonal socket of the bit
holder (2).
3. Release the locking sleeve. It will return in its initial
position and secure the bit.
WARNING: If the locking sleeve does not re-
turn to its original position, then the bit has not been
installed properly.
Removing the bit:
Pull the locking sleeve forward and keep it in this position
to remove the bit
SCREWING / UNSCREWING
Install a bit that matches the screw, align the bit into the
grooves of the screw head, and then tighten it.
Push the impact driver just enough to keep the bit in con-
tact with the screw head.
WARNING: Overtightening may result in
breaking the screw or damaging the bit!
Applying the impact driver for too long may tighten the
screw too much and break it.
▪ Tightening with the impact driver not aligned with the
screw may damage the screw head and the driving
force will not be transmitted properly to the screw.
▪ Before screwing large long screws into hard material,
it is advisable to pre-drill a pilot hole with the core di-
ameter of the thread to depth approx. 2/3 of the screw
length.
Maintenance
WARNING: Always set the forward/reverse
switch (4) in central position before any work on the
machine e. g. fitting and removing a battery, tool
change, transport, maintenance and storage.
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
