OPERATION NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right. NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation. WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when installing or removing the battery pack, and when installing or removing bits. BUILT-IN COUPLER See Figure 4, page 8. The tool has a built-in coupler. The coupler has been designed to accept 1/4 in. hex bits. NOTE: Use only impact quality bits with a locking groove, minimum length of 2 in. INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS See Figure 4, page 8. To install bits: Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position. Slide the coupler forward and hold in position. Insert bit straight into coupler. Slide the coupler back slowly and release. To remove bits: Lock the switch trigger. Slide the coupler forward and hold in position. Pull the bit straight out of the coupler. WARNING: Make sure the bit is secured in the coupler before using the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury. DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS See Figures 5 - 6, page 8. 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 may be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to prevent a shock to the operator. NOTICE: The impact driver is not designed to be used as a drill. 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. As the screw is driven, impacting will begin. MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
