OPERATION FOR IMPACT DRIVER
This product will accept Craftsman 20V
Max powered by DieHard slide-type
lithium-ion battery packs. For complete
charging instructions, refer to the Operator's
Manual for the battery packs and chargers.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal
injury, always remove the battery pack from
the tool when assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing a bit,
cleaning, or when it is not in use.
TO ATTACH BATTERY PACK
See Figure 17, page v
To install the battery pack, align the tongue
on the battery pack with the groove in the
housing and slide it into place. Insert it all the
way until it locks in place with a click.
NOTICE:
Make sure that the latch on the
battery pack snaps into place and the battery
pack is secured to the tool before beginning
operation. Improper assembly of the
battery pack can cause damage to internal
components.
TO DETACH BATTERY PACK
See Figure 17, page v
To remove the battery pack, slide it from the
tool while pressing the button on the front of
the pack.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in
operating condition. To prevent accidental
starting, always set the direction-of-rotation
selector to the OFF position when the tool is
not in use or when carrying the tool at your
side. Ordinarily, always carry the tool by its
hand grip. If the tool is fitted with a belt hook,
it may be hung from your belt.
VARIABLE-SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH
See Figure 18, page v
To turn the impact driver ON, depress the
trigger switch. To turn it OFF, release the
trigger switch.
The variable-speed trigger switch delivers
higher speed with increased trigger pressure
and lower speed with decreased trigger
pressure.
DIRECTION-OF-ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD / CENTER-LOCK / REVERSE)
See Figure 19, page v
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and
is controlled by a selector located above the
trigger switch. With the impact driver held in
normal operating position, as shown in Fig. 18:
1. Position the direction-of-rotation selector
to the left of the tool for forward rotation.
2. Position the direction-of-rotation selector
to the right of the tool for reverse.
3. Set the selector in the OFF (center-
lock) position to reduce the possibility of
accidental starting when the tool is not in
use.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always
allow the impact driver to come to a complete
stop before changing the direction-of-rotation.
NOTICE:
The impact driver will not run
unless the direction-of-rotation selector is
engaged fully to the left or right.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
To stop the impact driver, release the trigger
switch and allow the tool to come to a
complete stop. The electric brake quickly
stops the chuck from rotating. This feature
engages automatically when you release the
trigger switch.
LED WORKLIGHT
See Figure 20, page v
The LED worklight, located above the trigger
switch of the impact driver, will illuminate
when the trigger switch is depressed. This
provides additional light on the surface of the
workpiece. The LED worklight will turn off
when the trigger switch is released.
INSTALLING OR REMOVING BIT

To install the driver bit, pull the sleeve in the
direction of the arrow and insert the driver
bit into the sleeve as far as it will go. Then
release the sleeve to secure the driver bit. To
remove the driver bit, pull the sleeve in the
direction of the arrow and pull the driver bit
out.

Use only driver/socket bits of the
type supplied with the purchase of this impact
driver. See Figure 21, page v. The bits have
