VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch.
Your tool is equipped with a brake. The tool will
stop when the trigger switch is fully released. The
variable speed switch enables you to select the best
speed for a particular application. The more you
squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate.
For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage
the switch and should be avoided.
FORWARD/REVERSE BUTTON
A forward/reverse control button
serves as a lock-off button:
• To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/
reverse control button on the right side of the tool.
• To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control
button on the left side of the tool.
• The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When
changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may
hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
QUICK-RELEASE CHUCK
The quick-release chuck accepts
7/16" (11 mm) hex accessories only.
• To install an accessory, pull the
chuck collar
C
away from the front of the tool,
insert the accessory and release the collar. The
accessory is locked in place.
• To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar away from the front of the tool.
Remove the accessory and release the collar.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, place the forward/reverse
button in the lock-off position or turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before
making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Use only impact-rated accessories. Non impact-rated accessories may
break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect accessories prior to use to ensure
that it con tains no cracks.
CAUTION: Ensure fastener and/or system will withstand the level of torque generated
by the tool. Excessive torque may cause breakage and possible personal injury.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press switch to start operation. Release switch to stop operation. Always check
torque with a torque wrench, as the fastening torque is affected by many factors
including the following:
• Voltage: Low voltage, due to a nearly discharged battery, will reduce fastening
torque.
• Accessory size: Failure to use the correct accessory size will cause a reduction in
fastening torque.
• Bolt size: Larger bolt diameters generally require higher fastening torque.
Fastening torque will also vary according to length, grade, and torque coefficient.
• Bolt condition: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other debris to allow
proper fastening torque.
