Approx. 50 cm

The remote control should be operated within

approximately 50 cm and approximately 60°

vertically and horizontally of the perpendicular

relative to the infrared receiver on the tool.

Under the following circumstances, you may

not be able to operate the tool, even within

this range.

If there is an object between the remote

control’s transmitter and the tool’s receiver.

Use outdoors or in other environments

where the remote control receiver is

exposed to a strong light source, or when

the remote control transmitter or receiver is

dirty may cause the tool to fail to respond,

even when the remote control is used within

the operating range.

Forward Rotation Switch

Operation

1. Push the lever for forward rotation.

2. Depress the trigger switch slightly to start

the tool slowly.

3.

The speed increases with the amount of

depression of the trigger for efficient tight-

ening of screws. The brake operates and

the bit stops immediately when the trigger

is released.

4.

After use, set the lever to its center posi-

tion (switch lock).

Reverse Rotation Switch

Operation

1.

Push the lever for reverse rotation. Check

the

direction of rotation before use.

2.

Depress the trigger switch slightly to start the

tool slowly.

3. After use, set the lever to its center posi-

tion (switch lock).

CAUTION:

Always check the tool’s tightening torque

before use. Improper tool operation may

result in excessive or inadequate tight-

ening.

CAUTION:

Always operate the tool with the switch

fully engaged. The torque control func-

tion will not operate when the switch is

not sufficiently engaged, preventing the

tool from stopping automatically.

In work where a heavy load comes to

bear during tightening, the load may be

interpreted as the seating of the bolt,

preventing the bolt from being com-

pletely tightened.

Repeated tightening of the same bolt

may break the bolt or deform the mate-

rial into which the bolt is being driven as

a result of excessive tightening.
