disengage. To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release
button (E) and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert
it into the charger as described in the charger section of this manual.
Squeeze the tool trigger for three seconds to dissipate the slight
electric charge that may still be in the tool. The worklight may come
on for a brief moment.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 2)
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. 2)
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, 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.
FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 4)
Some Mac Tools™ battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists
of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge remaining in
the battery pack.
The fuel gauge is an indication of approximate levels of charge
remaining in the battery pack according to the following indicators:
75–100% charged
51–74% charged
< 50% charged
Pack needs to be charged
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button (L). 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.
