with a protection system. This system automatically cuts
off power to the tool 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, release the switch trigger on
the tool and stop the application that caused
the tool to become overloaded. Then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
If the tool does not start, the battery is
overheated. In this situation, let the battery
cool before pulling the switch trigger again.
• Low battery voltage:
The remaining battery capacity is too low and
the tool will not operate. In this situation,
remove and recharge the battery.

running. The tool may be damaged.
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high
speed or "1" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed
change lever is set to the correct position before
operation. Use the right speed for your job.
Selecting the action mode
Fig.7
This tool employs an action mode changing ring. Select
one of the three modes suitable for your work needs by
using this ring.
For rotation only, turn the ring so that the arrow on the
tool body points toward the mark on the ring.
For rotation with hammering, turn the ring so that the
arrow points toward the mark on the ring.
For rotation with clutch, turn the ring so that the arrow
points toward the mark on the ring.
CAUTION:
• Always set the ring correctly to your desired mode
mark. If you operate the tool with the ring
positioned halfway between the mode marks, the
tool may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque
Fig.8
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by
turning the adjusting ring so that the graduations are
aligned with the arrow on the tool body. The fastening
torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with
the arrow, and maximum when the number 16 is aligned
with the arrow.
Before the 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.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until
it locks in place. If you can see the red part on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury
to you or someone around you.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the grip and the
other hand on the bottom of the battery cartridge to
control the twisting action.
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
• There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole
break-through, when the hole becomes clogged
with chips and particles, or when striking
reinforcing rods embedded in the concrete.
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the marking. The
adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque levels for this
operation.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then
pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light
pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position and
prevent it from slipping away from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at
an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By
repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out
and normal drilling may be resumed.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
Fig.12
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Screwdriving operation
Fig.13
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the
arrow on the tool body points to the marking. Adjust
the adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work.
Then proceed as follows.
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.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in
the screw head, or the screw and/or bit may be
damaged.
NOTE:
• When driving wood screws, predrill pilot holes to
make driving easier and to prevent splitting of the
workpiece. See the chart.

Drilling operation
First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to
the marking. Then proceed as follows.
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 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 break through. Hold the tool
firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break
through the workpiece.
• A stuck 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.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or with a
similar hold-down device.
• 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.
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 bit into the
workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To preven t the bit from slipp ing when starting to ma ke a
hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and
hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the
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.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing the carbon brushes
Fig.14
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove two screws then remove
