Installing or removing bit
Grease
Clean the shank end of the bit and apply grease before
installing the bit.
Coat the shank end of the bit beforehand with a small
amount of grease (about 0.5 - 1 g). This chuck lubrica-
tion assures smooth action and longer service life.

Insert the bit into the tool. Turn the bit and push it in until
it engages. After installing the bit, always make sure
that the bit is securely held in place by trying to pull it
out.
► Fig.10: 1. Bit
To remove the bit, pull the chuck cover down all the way
and pull the bit out.

Bit angle
The bit can be secured at 12 different angles. To
change the bit angle, slide the change ring forward,
then turn the change ring to change the bit angle. At the
desired angle, slide the change ring back to the original
position. The bit will be secured in place.
After changing the bit angle, make sure the angle is
fixed by trying to rotate the bit.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold the tool by
both side handle / side grip and switch handle

to move resulting in injury.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the tool out forcibly
even the bit gets stuck. Loss of control may
cause injury.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the tool stabbed in
the workpiece. Otherwise the tool may starts unin-
tentionally and cause an injury.
NOTE: If the battery cartridge is in low temperature,
the tool's capability may not be fully obtained. In this
case, warm up the battery cartridge by using the
tool with no load for a while to fully obtain the tool's
capability.
