1. Important Safety Instructions
Always observe basic safety precautions when using electric tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
- Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
- Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
- Personal Safety: Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves.
- Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
- Battery Pack Use and Care: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Figure 3.1: Battery charge indicator in use.
3.2 Attaching Bits and Nut Setters
The impact driver uses a 1/4 inch (6.35mm) hex shank chuck for quick and secure accessory changes.
- Ensure the tool is switched off and the battery is removed before attaching or removing accessories.
- Pull the chuck collar forward to open the chuck.
- Insert the hex shank of the screwdriver bit or nut setter fully into the chuck.
- Release the chuck collar to lock the accessory in place. Tug on the accessory to ensure it is securely fastened.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Powering On/Off and Variable Speed Control
To operate the tool, insert a charged battery pack. The tool is activated by pressing the variable speed switch.
- To Start: Press the variable speed switch. The tool's speed will increase as you press the switch further.
- To Stop: Release the variable speed switch.
- Two-Speed Regulation: Use the speed selector switch (if present, typically on top of the tool) to choose between low speed (0-1300 RPM) for delicate tasks and high speed (0-2100 RPM) for faster driving.
4.2 Forward/Reverse Operation
The forward/reverse switch controls the direction of rotation for driving or removing fasteners.
- Forward Rotation: Push the switch to the left (when viewed from the rear of the tool) for driving screws or tightening nuts.
- Reverse Rotation: Push the switch to the right for removing screws or loosening nuts.
- Lock Position: When the switch is in the center position, the tool is locked, preventing accidental startup. Always set the switch to the lock position when not in use or when changing accessories.
4.3 LED Work Light
The integrated LED work light automatically illuminates when the variable speed switch is pressed, providing visibility in dimly lit areas.
Figure 4.1: LED Work Light in action.
4.4 General Operation Tips
- Apply firm, even pressure to the tool to prevent cam-out (bit slipping from the fastener head).
- For long screws or tough materials, start at a lower speed and gradually increase as needed.
- The impact mechanism will engage automatically when resistance is met, providing additional torque.
