IN THIS MANUAL INTO THE HANDS OF THE OPERATOR.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.
WHEN USING ELECTRIC TOOLS, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWAYS BE
FOLLOWED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK AND PERSONAL INJURY,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING.
PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE
•Use outdoor extension leads. When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for
outdoor use.
•Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in
accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal
and country), that may apply to hand held/hand
operated electric tools.
•Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have
them repaired by an authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged.
•Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged
label.
USING THE TOOL
•Do not operate this tool unless the Retainer
Coupling (1) and Flange (2) are installed securely.
•Always wear eye protection when operating or
performing maintenance on this tool.
•Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions, or uncomfortable positions may be
harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using any
tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.
Seek medical advice before resuming use.
•Guard Against Electric Shock. Prevent body contact
with earthed or grounded surfaces. For example;
pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
•Don’t abuse Cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank
it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat,
oil, and sharp edges.
•Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite injuries.
•Consider work area environment. Don’t expose
power tools and chargers to water. Keep work area
well lighted. Do not use tool in explosive or
flammable atmospheres.
•Keep bystanders and children away. Do not permit
unauthorized personnel to operate this tool, or touch

•Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be
stored in a dry, high or locked up place, out of reach of
children.
•Don’t force tool. It will do the job better and more
safely at the rate for which it was intended.
•Use the right tool. Do not force a small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy–duty tool.
•Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it is not
intended. Example: Do not use a screwdriver as a
drill.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber
gloves and non–skid footwear are recommended when

and the tool is unplugged.
•Do not allow chemicals such as acetone, benzene,
thinner, ketone, trichloroethylene or other similar
chemicals to come in contact with the screwdriver
housing as damage will result.
•Do not adjust the torque setting higher than 5 on
the Torque Scale.
Duty cycle:
MAX 0.8 sec. “ON”
MIN 3.2 sec. “OFF”
•Do not tighten more than 900 tapping screws
(size: 2 mm, length: 4 mm) per hour.
•Do not operate the Forward/Reverse Switch when
the motor is running.

ADJUSTMENTS
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the torque on these screwdrivers, proceed as
follows:
1.Determine the torque output of the tool by checking a
tightened fastener with a torque wrench.
2.Increase or decrease the torque output by rotating the
Spring Adjusting Ring (4). Rotating the Ring
clockwise to a higher number on the Torque Scale
increases torque output while rotating the Ring
counterclockwise to a lower number decreases the
torque output.
The numbers from one to five on the Torque Scale
are reference numbers only and are not an
indication of actual torque output.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT DESTROY.
3.Check the adjustment with a torque wrench. A number
of factors will affect torque output from one job to
another. Final torqueadjustment should be made at the
jobthrough a series of gradual increases. Always start
below the desired torque and work upward.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
REPAIR THIS TOOL.
All repairs and maintenance of this tool and its
cord must be performed by an authorized
service center. Contact Sales Office listed on last
