This tool has a reversingswitch to change
the direction of rotation. Slide the revers-
ing switch to the left for clockwise rota-
tionor tothe right for counterclockwise.
CAUTION
:
Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
*Move the reversingswitch
only after the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.

To change the speed, slide the speed change
lever to the
"H" side for high speed or
"L" side for low speed. To slide the speed
change lever easily, pull the trigger slightly
while pushing the speed change lever.
Be
sure that the speed change lever is set to
the correct position before operation. Use
the right speed for your job.
CAUTION
:
Always set the speed change lever fully into the correct position. Ifyou operate the tool
with the speed change lever positioned halfway between the
"H" side and "L" side, the
tool may be damaged.
Adjustingfastening torque
The fastening torque can be adjusted in six
stages by turning the adjusting ring so that
the pointer on the adjusting ring points to
a number on the tool body. The fastening
torque
is minimumwhen the pointer points
to the number
1 and maximum when it
points to the -\- marking. The clutch will
slip
at varying torque levels when the
pointer
is set at the numbers 1 to 5. The
clutch
is designed not to slip at the -8-
marking.
Before actual operation, drive
a trial screw into your material or a piece of duplicate
material to determine which torque
level is required for a particular application.
NOTE
:
The adjusting ring cannot be locked with the pointer positioned half-way between the
numbers.
Screwdrivingoperation
Place the point of the driver bit in the
screw head and apply pressure to the tool.
Start the tool slowly and then increasethe
speed gradually.
Release the trigger as soon
as the clutch cuts in.

First, turn the adjusting ring
so that the pointer on the adjusting ringpoints to the -8-
marking.Then proceed as follows.
0 Drillinginwood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtainedwith wood drills equippedwith
a guide
screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bitinto the workpiece.
To preventthe bitfrom slipping when starting
a hole,makean indentation with a center-
punch and hammer
at the point to be drilled place the point of the bitinthe indenta-
tion and start drilling.
Use
a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilleddry.
0 Drilling inmetal
CAUTION:
*Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. Infact, this excessive
pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance
and shorten the service life of the tool.
*There
is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough.
Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit beginsto break through the workpiece.
*A stuck bit can be removed simply by settingthe reversingswitch to reverse rotation in
orderto back out. However,the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold
it firmly.
*Always secure small workpieces in
a vise or similar hold-downdevice.
