To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trig-
ger fully, then release it.
NOTE:
• Even with the switch on and motor running, the bit will
not rotate until you fit the point of the bit in the screw
head and apply forward pressure to engage the clutch.
Reversing switch action
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the A side for
clockwise rotation or the B side for counterclockwise rotation.
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.
Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 1,500 and
4,500 rpm by turning the speed adjusting dial. Higher speed
is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number
5; lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of
number 1.
Refer to the figure for the relationship between the number
settings on the adjusting dial and the kind of work.
A range:
For work that requires a subtle speed control such as center-
ing or final fastening.
B range:
Use when screws/drywall boards might be damaged with C
range speed.
C range:
For regular fastening work.
NOTE:
• The above figure shows standard applications. They
may differ under certain conditions.
