5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off and Variable Speed Trigger
The tool is powered on by pressing the variable speed trigger. The speed of the impact driver is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger. Pressing the trigger lightly results in lower speed, while pressing it fully results in maximum speed.

5.2 Forward/Reverse Rotation and Speed Modes
The forward/reverse selector switch is located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (fastening) and to the right for reverse rotation (loosening). The center position locks the trigger for safety.
Figure 5.2: Forward/Reverse selector and available speed modes.
The ID-L2 offers multiple speed settings for different applications:
- Forward Modes (Fastening):
- Mode 1: 0-1600 rpm

- Reverse Modes (Loosening):
- Mode 1: 0-1600 rpm
- Mode 3: 0-2800 rpm
- Brake-Stop Mode: Engages a brake when the trigger is released in reverse, preventing over-loosening.
Use the speed adjustment button (refer to Figure 5.1) to cycle through the available speed modes.
