APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:

Driving screws in drywall

STARTING/STOPPING THE SCREWDRIVER

See Figure 3, page 12.

To turn the screwdriver ON, depress the switch trigger. Re-

lease the switch trigger to turn the screwdriver OFF.

VARIABLE SPEED

The screwdriver has a variable speed switch for operator

control of speed and torque limits.

Depress the switch trigger all the way for maximum speed

and torque. Depress the switch trigger only part of the way

for less speed and torque.

Avoid running the tool at low speeds for extended periods

of time. Constant use at low speeds may cause overheating.

If this occurs, cool the screwdriver by running it without a

load and at full speed.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 3, page 12.

The screwdriver is equipped with a lock-on feature which

is convenient for continuous driving of screws for extended

periods of time. To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push

in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the

handle, then release switch trigger. Release the lock-on but-

ton and the screwdriver will continue running.

To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and re-

lease.

If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the

screwdriver becomes disconnected from the power supply,

disengage the lock-on feature immediately.

FORWARD/REVERSE LEVER

See Figure 4, page 12.

The direction of rotation of the bit is controlled by a lever

located above the switch trigger. With the screwdriver held

in normal operating position, the direction of rotation lever

should be positioned to the left of the switch for forward

driving operation. The direction of rotation is in reverse when

the lever is to the right of the switch.

NOTE: The screwdriver will not run unless forward/reverse

lever is pushed fully to the left or right. The design of the

switch will not permit changing the direction of rotation while

the screwdriver is running. Release the switch trigger and al-

low the screwdriver to stop before changing its direction.
