Changing the Work Modes
When the tool is set in forward rotation, the
•
work mode – a combination of rotation speed,
impact rate, and torque – can be changed to
allow a tightening force suitable to the work at
hand. Every time the mode button is pressed,
the mode will toggle between 4 work modes:
a. Low-Speed Mode - Indicator light above "1"
shines green.
b. Medium-Speed Mode - Indicator lights above
"1" and "2" shine green.
c. High-Speed Mode - Indicator lights above 1,
2, and 3 shine green.
d. Control Mode - Indicator light corresponding
to "CM" shines green.
In control mode, the tool runs at low-speed at first to help engage the screw into work piece.
Once the screw is well engaged, the tool will increase speed automatically to finish the work
efficiently with steady control over the process. The control mode is available only when the
tool is set in forward rotation (to drive screws in). If the tool is switched to reverse rotation
while in control mode, the impact force and speed are the same as the medium-speed mode
"2".
The modes can also be changed when the tool is set in reverse rotation to allow a loosening
•
force suitable to the work at hand.
NOTICE: The work mode can be changed only when any mode-indicator light is shining and
the trigger switch is not depressed. The mode button is disabled when the motor is running.
The work mode will be stored in memory and reactivated the next time the tool is turned on or
when the direction of rotation has been changed. Reset the modes as desired.
When the trigger is squeezed slightly, the LED light button is pressed, or the mode button is
pressed, any of the four indicator lights will automatically shine green, to indicate the work
mode saved during the last use and will turn off approximately 60 seconds after the variable
speed trigger switch is released. It means that during approximately one minute after releas-
ing the switch trigger, the work mode can be changed.
