Switch action (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the
machine, always check to see that the switch lever
actuates properly and returns to the ‘‘OFF’’ position
when released.
To start the machine, move the release button forward
(A direction) and squeeze the switch lever. Machine
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the
switch lever. To stop the machine, release the switch
lever.
CAUTION:
After switching off, always move the release button
backward (B direction) to prevent the machine from
being accidentally switched on.
Reversing switch (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
•
Always check the direction of rotation before opera-
tion.
•
Use the reversing switch only after the machine
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the machine stops may damage the
machine.
This machine has a reversing switch to change the
direction of rotation. Slide the reversing switch down
(Position F) for clockwise rotation or slide it up
(Position R) for counterclockwise rotation.
Selecting the correct socket
Always use the correct size socket for bolts and nuts.
An incorrect size socket will result in inaccurate and
inconsistent fastening torque and/or damage to the
bolt or nut.
Installing or removing the socket (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the machine switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before installing or
removing the socket.
To install the socket, push it onto the anvil of the
machine until it locks into place. To remove the
socket, simply pull it off.
Operation
The proper fastening torque may differ depending
upon the kind or size of screws, the type of materials
to be fastened, etc. Before starting your job, always
perform a test operation to verify adequate fastening
torque.
Straight head and ratchet head (Fig.7&8)
Straight heads and ratchet heads are available as
optional accessories for various applications on the
job.

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
