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
