ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
ENB022-1
1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live”
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock the operator.
3. Always be sure you have a firm footing.
4. Be sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
5. Hold the tool firmly.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
8. Do not touch the drill bit or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig. 1)
• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of
the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the
tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the car-
tridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the
battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip
it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in
place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out
of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around
you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If
the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being
inserted correctly.
Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit (Fig. 2)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before installing or removing
the bit.
Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to
open the chuck jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as
it will go. Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clock-
wise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve coun-
terclockwise.
Switch action (Fig.3)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always
check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the “OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Tool speed is
increased by increasing pressure on the trigger. Release
the trigger to stop.
Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for counter-
clockwise rotation. When the switch lever is in the neutral
position, the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Speed change (Fig. 5)
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the “ΙΙ” side for high
speed or “Ι” side for low speed. Be sure that the speed
change lever is set to the correct position before opera-
tion. Use the right speed for your job.
CAUTION:
• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct
position. If you operate the tool with the speed change
lever positioned half-way between the “Ι” side and
“ΙΙ” side, the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is run-
ning. The tool may be damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 6)
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 17 steps by turn-
ing the adjusting ring so that its graduations are aligned
with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is
minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the pointer,
and maximum when the
A marking is aligned with the
pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at
the number 1 to 16. The clutch is designed not to slip at
the
A 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:
Do not operate the tool with the adjusting ring set
between the number 16 and the
A marking. The tool may
be damaged.
