Switch Trigger - RIDGID R8641 Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATION

SWITCH TRIGGER

See Figure 2, page 11.
To turn the impact driver ON, depress the switch trigger. To
turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 2, page 11.
This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher
speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is controlled
by the amount of switch trigger depression.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a
normal part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 2, page 11.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by
a selector located above the switch trigger. With the impact
driver held in normal operating position, the direction of rota-
tion selector should be positioned to the left of the switch
trigger for driving. The driving direction is reversed when the
selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position will lock the switch trigger to help reduce the
possibility of accidental starting when not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the coupler
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
To stop the impact driver, release the switch trigger and allow
the coupler to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The impact driver will not run unless the direction of
rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
BELT HOOK
See Figure 3, page 11.
The belt hook may be used on either side of the tool base.
To change the position of the belt hook:
 Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw and belt
hook.
 Move the belt hook to the other side of the tool base.
 Securely tighten the screw before use.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool when
you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, or when not in use. Removing battery
pack will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 4, page 11.
To install:
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
(forward/reverse/center lock) selector in center position.
 Align raised rib on battery pack with the groove inside
the impact driver.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and battery pack is secured before begin-
ning operation.
To remove:
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in center position.
 Depress the latches on the sides of the battery pack.
The battery pack will disconnect in the direction to be
removed.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be locked when
not in use or carrying at your side.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figure 5, page 11.
To install:
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in the center position.
 Remove the battery pack from the impact driver.
 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.
To remove:
