Reversing switch action (Fig. 4)
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Depress the reversing switch lever from the A
side for clockwise rotation or from the B side for
counterclockwise rotation.
When the reversing switch lever is in the neutral position,
the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
CAUTION:
• Always check the direction of rotation before operation.
• Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes to a
complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation
before the tool stops may damage the tool.
• When not operating the tool, always set the reversing
switch lever to the neutral position.
Speed change (Fig. 5)
• To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then
slide the speed change lever to the "2" side for high
speed or "1" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed
change lever is set to the correct position before
operation. Use the right speed for your job.
CAUTION:
• Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct
position. If you operate the tool with the speed change
lever positioned halfway between the "1" side and "2"
side, the tool may be damaged.
• Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is
running. The tool may be damaged.
Selecting the action mode (Fig. 6)
This tool employs an action mode changing ring. Select
one of the three modes suitable for your work needs by
using this ring.
For rotation only, turn the ring so that the arrow on the tool
body points toward the mark on the ring.
For rotation with hammering, turn the ring so that the
arrow points toward the mark on the ring.
For rotation with clutch, turn the ring so that the arrow
points toward the mark on the ring.
CAUTION:
• Always set the ring correctly to your desired mode
mark. If you operate the tool with the ring positioned
halfway between the mode marks, the tool may be
damaged.
Adjusting the fastening torque (Fig. 7)
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 16 steps by
turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are
aligned with the arrow on the tool body. The fastening
torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned with the
arrow, and maximum when the number 16 is aligned with
the arrow.
Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your
material or a piece of duplicate material to determine
which torque level is required for a particular application.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.

Installing or removing driver bit or drill bit
(Fig. 8)
Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws.
Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn the
sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck.
To remove the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
Hook (Fig. 9)
The hook is convenient for temporarily hanging the tool.
This can be installed on either side of the tool.
To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool
housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To
remove, loosen the screw and then take it out.
OPERATION
Hammer drilling operation
CAUTION:
• There is a tremendous and sudden twisting force
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow
on the tool body points to the
ring can be aligned in any torque levels for this operation.
Be sure to use a tungsten-carbide tipped bit.
Position the bit at the desired location for the hole, then
pull the switch trigger.
Do not force the tool. Light pressure gives best results.
Keep the tool in position and prevent it from slipping away
from the hole.
Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes
clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at an
idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By
repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out
and normal drilling may be resumed.
Blow-out bulb (optional accessory)
(Fig. 10)
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Screwdriving operation (Fig. 11)
First, turn the action mode changing ring so that the arrow
on the tool body points to the
adjusting ring to the proper torque level for your work.
Then proceed as follows.
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and
apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then
increase the speed gradually. Release the switch trigger
as soon as the clutch cuts in.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the driver bit is inserted straight in the
