TO INSTALL THE BATTERY PACK INTO THE TOOL HANDLE

FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 5)
Some FACOM battery packs include a fuel gauge (k) which consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in the
battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (k). A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate designating the
level of charge left. When the level of charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not illuminate and the battery will need to
be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to variation
based on product components, temperature and end-user application.
Operation
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, place the forward/reverse button in the lock-off position
or turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Use only FACOM battery pack and chargers.
Proper Hand Position (fig. 1, 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle (d).
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (fig. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a). To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The anvil will
stop when the trigger switch is fully released. The variable speed switch enables you to select the best speed for a particular application. The more
you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (fig. 1)
A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool.
The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is
released.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate
a problem.
Worklight (fig. 1)
There is a worklight (g) located on the foot of the tool. The worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed. When the trigger is released,
the worklight will stay illuminated for up to 20 seconds.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
