CAUTION : Do not install the battery cartridge forcibly. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with a battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off power to the motor to extend battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool and/or battery are placed under one of the following conditions:

Overloaded:
The tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart. If the tool does not start, the battery is overheated. In this situation, let the battery cool before turning the tool on again.
Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool will not operate. If you turn the tool on, the motor runs again but stops soon. In this situation, remove and recharge the battery.

Indicating the remaining battery capacity
Only for battery cartridges with the indicator

CAUTION : Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
CAUTION : Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
CAUTION : When not operating the tool, always set the reversing switch lever to the neutral position.

This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counterclockwise rotation. When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.

Speed change
Fig.6: 1. Speed change lever

CAUTION : Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct position. If you operate the tool with the speed change lever positioned halfway between the “1” side and “2” side, the tool may be damaged.
CAUTION : Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.

Position of speed change lever| Speed| Torque| Applicable operation
---|---|---|---
1| Low| High| Heavy load- ing operation
2| High| Low| Light loading operation

To change the speed, switch off the tool first. Select the “2” side for high speed or “1” for low speed but high torque. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to the correct position before operation. If the tool speed is coming down extremely during the operation with “2”, slide the lever to the “1” and restart the operation.

Screwdriving operation

CAUTION : Adjust the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work.
CAUTION : Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the screw head, or the screw and/or driver bit may be damaged. Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger as soon as the clutch cuts in.
NOTE : When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier and prevents splitting of the workpiece.

Drilling operation
First, turn the adjusting ring so that the arrow points to the marking. Then proceed as follows.

Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal
To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the drill bit in the indentation and start drilling. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

• CAUTION : Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
• CAUTION : Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
• CAUTION : A stuck drill bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
• CAUTION : Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
• CAUTION : If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
