1) Be aware that this tool is always in an

operating condition, since it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.

2) When screwing or driving into walls,

floors, etc., “live” electrical wires may
be encountered. DO NOT TOUCH THE
HEX QUICK CHUCK OR ANY FRONT
METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold
the tool only by the plastic handle to
prevent electric shock in case you
screw or drive into a “live” wire. 

3) If the screw driver does not rotate

anymore, immediately turn the main
switch off for a longer period to prevent
an overload, which can damage the
battery pack or motor.
Use reverse motion to loosen jammed
bits.

4) Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse

lever when the main switch is on. The
battery will discharge rapidly and
damage to the unit may occur.

5) During charging, the charger may

become slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long
period.

6) Use only a dry, soft cloth to wipe the

unit. Do NOT use a damp cloth, thinner,
benzine, or other volatile solvents for
cleaning.

7) When storing or carrying the tool, set

the Forward/Reverse lever to the center
position (switch lock).

8) Do not strain the tool by holding the

speed control trigger halfway (speed
control mode) so that the motor stops.

9) Young children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

10) Wear ear protectors when using the

tool for extended periods.

This unit is equipped with impact mode
selector switch. By sliding the mode selec-
tor switch, soft impact mode or hard impact
mode can be selected.

Soft impact mode has lower torque setting
and help avoiding the damage of material
caused by over-tightening power. It is
recommended to select this mode to
minimize the damage of small size screw
head or the damage of  the soft material
surface to be fastened by controlling the
trigger switch.

Hard impact mode has maximum torque
and rotation speed setting.

When you set the impact mode, make sure
to slide the mode selector switch fully to
the desired impact mode setting. 

Do not slide the switch before the rotation
has completely stopped.
