FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
This impact driver is designed for wood/mild
steel drilling and screw driving. Please refer
to the figure on this page to familiarize
yourself with the major components of this tool
before use.
1. Power Switch
Depressing the power switch partially will
energize the LED light (2) in front. Pulling
further back will start the rotation action.
When released, power to the motor will
cease and drill chuck will stop to rotate. A
small amount of sparks may appear next to
the motor. This is normal as energy is
being converted to heat for dissipation.
3. Rotation Direction Switch
Pushing this switch to the left will cause the
chuck to spin in a “forward” direction, and
“reverse” when pushed to the right.
NOTE: In the center position, this switch will
lock out the power switch.
4. Quick Change Holder
This driver accepts only 6.35mm (1/4”)
hexagonal bits. Be sure the bit is fully engaged
by the chuck before operating tool. Otherwise,
the bit may fly off and cause property damage
or personal injury.
5. Non-slip Handle
The “rubberized” part of the handle gives a
more comfortable grip during operation,
shields operator from motor heat buildup, and
helps in reducing vibration and fatigue.
6. Lanyard (Shown in Fiqure1)
The lanyard is provided to help minimize the
occurrence of tool being dropped. Please use
it to your advantage and do not remove.
7. Li-ion/Ni-MH Battery
This battery provides electrical power to the
motor. Please charge it according to the
charging instruction listed in this manual.
8. Easy Brush Access Cover
The cover allows the user to access the
carbon brush for replacement.

5. During charging, the charging lamp (green)
will start flashing. When charging is
completed, an internal electronic switch will
automatically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
- Charging will not start if the battery pack is
warm. For example, immediately after
heavy-duty operation. The yellow standby
lamp will be flashing until the battery cools
down.
6. If the temperature of the battery pack is
0oC or less, charging takes longer to fully
charge the battery pack than the standard
charging time. Even when the battery is
fully charged, it will have approximately
50% of the power of a fully charged battery
at normal operation temperature.
7. Once the battery is fully charged, the
green lamp will be lit to indicate the gone
into a trickle charge mode.
Ni-MH Battery Pack

Tightening Bolts and Nuts
1. Use the correct size socket. A larger socket
than needed will cause „rounding” of the bolt
and loose metal shaving to fly off.
2. Start slowly to engage and not damage the
threads. Once the thread is positively engaged,
the speed can be increased to facilitate the
work.
CAUTION: DO NOT push tool in a forward
direction against the fastener. Doing so will put
undue stress on the bearings and the
impression that the tool has lost some of its
power.
3. The proper torque can be reached in a
relatively short time. Stop the tools as soon as
the impact sound heard. When tightening
smaller nuts and bolts, carefully adjust
pressure on the power switch so that the nut is
not damaged.
NOTE: Since the torque is determined by many
factors (battery condition, size of socket, drive
extension used, nut and bolt condition, etc.), for
repeat operations, perform a torque test with a
torque wrench before use.
Removing Bolts and Nuts
Use the maximum torque available to remove
nuts and bolts. Be sure to slow the speed when
the fastener is nearly removed or the high rotation
speed will cause the fastener to “fly out“ and
cause damage of injury.
Factors Affecting Tightening Torque
1. Voltage: When the battery pack becomes
nearly discharged, the voltage decreases and
the tightening torque drops.
2. Tightening time: Longer tightening time
results in increased tightening torque.
Excessive tightening, however, adds no
value and reduces the life of the tool.
3. Different bolt diameters:
The size of the bolt diameter affects the
tightening torque. Generally, as the bolt
diameter increases, tightening torque rises.
4. Tightening conditions:
-Tightening torque may vary, even with the
same bolt, according to grade, length, and
torque coefficient (the coefficient indicated by
the manufacturer upon production).
-Tightening torque may vary, even with the
same bolting material (e.g. steel), according
to the surface finish.
5. Socket play: Torque is lowered as the hex-
socket is not used to tighten a blot.
6. Switch (Variable speed control trigger):
Torque is lowered if the unit is used with the
switch not fully depressed.
