OPERATION INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS See Figure 4, page 11. The AUTO-LOAD CHUCK provides fast, easy one-handed bit loading and ejecting. The coupler has been designed to accept 1/4 in. hex bits. To install: Lock switch trigger on the tool by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position. Remove the battery pack from the tool. Push the bit into the coupler until it clicks into place. Pull on the bit to make sure it is secured in the coupler. There may be some play in the installed bit; this is normal. NOTE: Use only impact quality bits with a locking groove. WARNING: Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before using the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury. To remove: Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position. Remove the battery pack from the impact driver. With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, pull the coupler away from the driver. The bit will eject from the coupler. WARNING: Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If you must drive a screw where hidden wire could be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to prevent a shock to the operator. CAUTION: The impact driver is not designed to be used as a drill. DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS See Figures 5 - 6, page 11. Place the direction of rotation selector in the correct position for the operation. Hold the impact driver with one hand. Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control. NOTE: The TRI-BEAM LED will illuminate as the trigger is depressed. As the screw is driven, impacting will begin. 9 - English
