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.
•

Switch and Forward/Reverse
Lever Operation
Forward Reverse
Switch lock
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:
•
To eliminate excessive temperature
increase of the tool surface, do not
operate the tool continuously using two
or more battery packs. Tool needs cool
off time before switching to another
pack.

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-

a result of excessive tightening.
