OPERATION To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the tool to come to a complete stop. DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR (FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK) See Figure 1, page 8. Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock) position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental starting when not in use. Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the switch trigger for forward operation. Position the selector to the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction. 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. INSTALLING/REMOVING BELT CLIP See Figure 2, page 8. The belt clip may be installed on either side of the housing. Align the hole in the belt clip with the hole in the housing. Install the screw to secure the belt clip in place. To uninstall, remove the screw, then remove the belt clip. INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK See Figure 3, page 8. Lock the switch trigger. Insert the battery pack into the product as shown. Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack snap into place and that battery pack is secured in the product before beginning operation. Depress the latches to remove the battery pack. For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manuals for your battery pack and charger. INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS See Figure 4, page 9. 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 the switch trigger. Remove the battery pack. 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. CAUTION: The metal surface may become hot during use. Avoid contact with it to avoid possible burn injury. To remove: Lock the switch trigger. Remove the battery pack. With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, pull the coupler away from the driver. The bit will eject from the coupler. SPEED/TORQUE SELECTOR See Figure 5, page 9.
