accessories may break and cause a hazardous condition. Inspect
accessory prior to use to ensure that it con tains no cracks.
nOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex accessories
and 1" (25.4 mm) bit tips only.
Place the forward/reverse button
(center) position and remove battery pack before
changing accessories.
To install an accessory, fully insert the accessory into the

OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start‑up can
cause injury.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. D)
WARNING: Ensure the tool/appliance is in the off position
before inserting the battery pack.
nOTE: For best results, make sure your battery pack is
fully charged.
1. To install the battery pack
the battery pack with the rails inside the tool's handle and
slide it into the handle until the battery pack is firmly seated
in the tool and ensure that it does not disengage.
2. To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the
battery pack release button
pack out of the tool handle. Insert battery into the charger.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. E)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle

direction of the tool and also serves as a lock‑off button.
• To select forward rotation (clockwise), release the trigger
switch and depress the forward/reverse control button on
the right side of the tool.
• To select reverse (counterclockwise), depress the forward/
reverse control button on the left side of the tool.
nOTE: 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: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.
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.
Worklight (Fig. A)
The worklight
is activated when the trigger switch
7
depressed, and will automatically turn off 20 seconds after
the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch remains
depressed, the worklight will remain on.
nOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Usage (Fig. E)
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. Use only impact‑
rated accessories.
1. Place the accessory on the fastener head. Keep the tool
pointed straight at the fastener.
2. Press variable speed trigger switch
Release variable speed trigger 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: Ensure that all threads are free of rust and other
debris to allow proper fastening torque.
‑ Material: The type of material and surface finish of the
material will affect fastening torque.
‑ Fastening time: Longer fasten ing time results in
increased fastening torque. Using a longer fastening
time than recommended could cause the fasteners to be
overstressed, stripped or damaged.
