ASSEMBLY & OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS LITHIUM-ION BATTERY PERFORMANCE Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries generally provide superior performance to nickel-cadmium batteries when used in power tools. Faster charges Longer battery life More power Lighter weight Lithium-ion batteries perform best and deliver peak output power at room temperature (20 C or 68 F). When operated in lower temperatures, the battery output will be reduced and it will NOT function below 20 C (-4 F). The output power will increase as the heat generated by the battery during use increases the internal temperature of the battery. The result is increased power as the tool is used.

Every time you the cordless screwdriver is used, the following should be verified: 1. Screwdriver bit is the correct type & size, not worn and not damaged in any way. 2. Workpiece is properly secured. 3. Safety glasses are being worn. Failure to adhere to these safety rules can greatly increase the chances of injury or property damage. DRIVING SCREWS When driving screws, care must be taken to use the bit that correctly fits the head of the screw being driven. Make sure to use the largest bit size that will properly fit into the head of the screw. The bits must also be in good condition and not worn so they will drive screws without slipping out of the screw head. 1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the screw being driven. 2. Insert the magnetic bit holder (1) into the collet (2) (Fig. 9). 3. Insert the bit (3) fully into the bit holder. 4. Insert the screwdriver bit fully into the screw head (4). 5. While holding the screwdriver firmly against the screw and the bit aligned with the screw, press the upper part of the switch to start the screwdriver and drive the screw. 6. When the screw is driven to the correct depth, release the switch and the screwdriver will stop. 7. When the switch is released and the screwdriver stops turning, the spindle will automatically lock. Fully tighten the screw by manually rotating the screwdriver handle in a clockwise direction. 8. To remove screws, follow the same general procedure as for driving screws.
