1. Align the battery pack with the battery port on the tool handle.
2. Slide the battery pack into the tool until it clicks securely into place.
3. To remove, press the battery release button and slide the battery pack out.

4.3 Attaching Sockets and Adapters

The INSIDER system allows for quick and secure attachment of various sockets and adapters.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

To power on the tool, depress the variable speed paddle trigger. The tool will operate as long as the trigger is pressed. Release the trigger to power off.

5.2 Forward/Reverse Operation

The forward/reverse shuttle is located near the drive head. Push the shuttle to the left for forward (tightening) rotation and to the right for reverse (loosening) rotation. Ensure the shuttle is fully engaged in the desired direction before operating the tool.

5.3 Variable Speed Control

The tool features a variable speed paddle trigger. The speed of rotation is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger. Pressing the trigger lightly will result in slower speeds, while pressing it fully will achieve maximum speed (up to 350 RPM).

5.4 Work Light

The dual LED work light automatically activates when the trigger is pressed, illuminating the work surface. It will turn off shortly after the trigger is released.

5.5 Torque Considerations

This tool provides up to 60 ft-lbs of maximum torque. For applications requiring precise torque settings, always use a calibrated torque wrench to verify the final fastener tightness.
