PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source

Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product nameplate.

2. Power switch

Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately, inviting serious accident.

3. Extension cord

When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.

4. Confirm the direction of bit rotation (Fig.1)

The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) when the reversing switch lever is set to the "R" side position. When the lever is set to the "L" side position, the bit rotates counterclockwise and can be used to loosen and retract screws.

5. Adjusting the tightening depth (Fig.2)

Pull the lock sleeve in the direction of arrow to remove it from the spline installed in the gear cover. When the lock sleeve is released, the lock sleeve returns to the gear cover. While pulling the lock sleeve and turning it right and left, adjust the position of locator. Release the lock sleeve and align the gear cover spline with the lock sleeve spline.

The lock sleeve is automatically inserted onto the gear cover spline and locked.

(1) For hex-head screws:

Mount a hex-head screw on the hex-socket and set the distance between the locator assembly end and the screw head bottom to 1.5 - 2mm as shown in Fig.3.

(2) For drywall screws:

Mount a drywall screw on the bit, and set the distance between the locator assembly end and the screw head to 0.5 - 1mm as shown in Fig.4.

(3) For plus-head self-drilling screws:

Mount a self-drilling screw on the bit, and set the distance between the locator assembly end and the screw head bottom to 1 - 1.5mm as shown in Fig.5.

6. Mounting the bit

For details, refer to the item "Mounting and dismounting the bit".

7. Fixing the side handle

Always hold the body handle and side handle of the screw driver firmly. Otherwise the counterforce produced may result in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.

MOUNTING AND DISCOUNTING THE HEX-SOCKET OR THE BIT

1. Dismounting the hex-socket (Figs.6 and 7)

(1) Hold the locator without turning it and fully pull the lock sleeve in the direction of arrow A.

Turn the clock sleeve about 0.2 " clockwise or counterclockwise. The locator claw is engaged with the groove in the inner part of the lock sleeve spline over circumference. The lock sleeve is now locked to the locator. Though the lock sleeve is not held, it does not return to the gear cover. Turn the locator in the direction of arrow ⑧ and remove the locator ass'y.

(2) Remove the hex-socket, hold it with the opposite side of bit with hand or vice and pull out the bit with a pliers.

2. Dismounting the bit (Figs. 6 and 8)

Remove the locator alike case of hex-head socket and remove the bit holder, then pull out the bit with a pliers.

3. Mounting the hex-socket or the bit

Install the bit in the reverse order to remove.

HOW TO USE THE SCREW DRIVER

1. Switch operation and rotational speed adjustment

Bit rotational speed can be regulated between 0 and 2600 / min varying the degree by which the trigger switch is pulled. Rotational speed increases as the trigger switch is pulled, and reaches a maximum speed of 2600 / min when the trigger switch is pulled fully.

To facilitate continuous operation, pull the trigger switch and depress the switch stopper. The switch will then remain ON even when the finger is removed. By pulling the trigger switch again, the switch stopper is disengaged and the switch is turned OFF when the trigger switch is released.

2. Screwdriver operation

When the switch is turned ON, the motor starts to run but the hex-socket (or the bit) does not rotate. Attach the hex-socket to the screw head groove, and push the screwdriver against the screw. The hex-socket then rotates, tightening the screw.

CAUTION

Ensure that the screwdriver is held truly perpendicular to the head of the screw.

If held at an angle, the driving force will not be fully transferred to the screw, and the screw head and/or hex-socket will be damaged. Hexsocket rotation stops when pushing force is released.

3. Direction of hex-socket rotation

The hex-socket rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear side) when the reversing switch lever is set to the "R" side position. When the lever is set to the "L" side position, the hex-socket rotates counterclockwise, and can be used to loosen and retract screws.

CAUTION

Never change the direction of hex-socket rotation while the motor is running. To do so would seriously damage the motor. Turn the power switch OFF before changing the direction of hex-socket rotation.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Inspecting the hex-socket (or bit)

Since continued use of a worn hex-socket (bit) will damage screw heads, replace the hexsocket (bit) with a new one as soon as excessive wear is noticed.

2. Inspecting the mounting screws

Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig.9)

The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. When they become worn to or near "wear limit", it could result in motor trouble. When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically.

At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new ones which have the same carbon brush Nos. shown in Fig.9.

In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.

5. Replacing a carbon brushes (Fig.10)

Disassembly:

(1) Loosen the three machine screws, and remove the handle cover.
(2) Remove the holder piece and lift the brush holder gently with a screwdriver or the like, and remove it from the housing while suppressing the carbon brush, as shown in Fig.10. Be careful not to excessively pull the lead wire.
(3) Remove the carbon brush from the brush holder.

Assembly

(1) Insert the new carbon brush into the brush holder.
(2) Insert the brush holder together with the carbon brush into the brush holder chamber in the housing.
(3) Ensure that the lead wire and other parts are properly positioned, and that there is no possibility of the lead wire coming in contact with the armature or other moving parts.
(4) Reinstall the handle cover while ensuring that the Internal wiring does not become pinched between the cover and the housing, and secure the handle cover with the three machine screws.

CAUTIONS

Be sure to follow the above assembly procedures exactly. Should the internal wiring contact the armature or become pinched between the handle cover and housing, a serious risk of electric shock to the operator would be created.
Do not tamper with parts other than those necessary to effect carbon brush replacement.
