Attaching and Removing Accessories
1/4" Hex Impact Driver
This impact driver is intended for use with drill and
driver bits.
1. To attach an accessory, press the shank into the
hex drive chuck.
2. To remove the accessory, pull out the ring and
remove the accessory. Release the ring.
OPERATION
Always remove battery pack before
WARNING

ries. Only use accessories specifically recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when
the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the
motor to come to a complete stop before using the
control switch.
Forward
CENTER TO LOCK
1. For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the control
switch in the direction shown. Check the direction
of rotation before use.
2. For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push the
control switch in the direction shown. Check the
direction of rotation before use.
3. To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. The trigger will not work when the
control switch is in the locked position.
Always remove the battery pack before performing
maintenance or changing accessories. Always
lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before
storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before
changing speeds. Press the selector button
cycle between the settings.

The function is designed to reduce screw strip-
ping, screw breakage, and damage to the work sur-
face when driving self-tapping screws. This function
is optimized for the most common materials, including
#8, #10 and #12 self-tapping screws between 1/2"-1"
in length and 18-22 gauge sheet metal.
NOTE:
more than half-way. If pulled less than half-way, the
driver will run in the normal impacting mode. When
using the
once the screw is fully seated.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
These tools may be operated at any speed from 0
to full speed.
1. To start the tool, pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
2. To vary the driving speed, increase or decrease
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is
pulled, the greater the speed, up to the maximum
speed set by the speed control.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger and the electric
brake stops the tool instantly.
The longer a bolt, screw, or nut is impacted, the
tighter it will become. To help prevent damaging the
fasteners or workpieces, avoid excessive impact-
ing. Be particularly careful when impacting smaller
fasteners because they require less impacting to
reach optimum torque.
Practice with various fasteners, noting the length of
time required to reach the desired torque. Check the
tightness with a hand-torque wrench. If the fasteners
are too tight, reduce the impacting time. If they are
not tight enough, increase the impacting time.
Oil, dirt, rust or other matter on the threads or under
the head of the fastener affects the degree of tight-
ness.
Reverse
The torque required to loosen a fastener averages
75% to 80% of the tightening torque, depending on
the condition of the contacting surfaces.
On light gasket jobs, run each fastener down to a
relatively light torque and use a hand torque wrench
for final tightening.
