VARIABLE SPEED
The screwdriver has a variable speed switch for operator
control of speed and torque limits.
Depress the switch trigger all the way for maximum speed
and torque. Depress the switch trigger only part of the way
for less speed and torque.
Avoid running the tool at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Constant use at low speeds may cause overheating.
If this occurs, cool the screwdriver by running it without a
load and at full speed.
LOCK-ON SWITCH
See Figure 6, pages 10 .
The lock-on feature is convenient for continuous driving of
screws for extended periods of time.
To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push up and hold
the lock-on button located below the switch trigger, then
release switch trigger. Release the lock-on button and the
screwdriver will continue running.
To release the lock, depress the switch trigger and release.
USING QUIETDRIVE MODE
See Figure 7, page 10 .
In QUIETDRIVE mode, the motor only engages when the
mode is activated, the trigger is locked on and pressure is
applied to the bit.
 To activate the mode, press the QUIETDRIVE button
on the base of the tool. The LED indicator will show the
QUIETDRIVE mode is on.
NOTE: The LED indicator will only remain on for 60
seconds after QUIETDRIVE mode is activated if the trigger
is not locked on. QUIETDRIVE mode will remain active
until it is turned off by pressing the QUIETDRIVE button.
 Engage the lock-on switch.
NOTE: The LED indicator will remain on for 4 hours after
the lock-on switch is activated. The tool will enter sleep
mode 4 hours after the last tool actuation. To reactivate
the tool, cycle the trigger.
 When pressure is applied to the bit, the motor will
automatically engage to drive the screw and shut off
when finished.
 To turn QUIETDRIVE off, release the lock-on switch then
press the QUIETDRIVE button on the base of the tool.
The LED indicator will turn off.
 Before storing or transporting the tool, turn QUIETDRIVE
mode off and remove the battery pack.

OPERATION
ILLUSTRATIONS START ON PAGE 9.
7 — English
DIRECTION OF ROTATION LEVER
See Figure 8, page 10.
The direction of rotation of the bit is controlled by a lever
located above the switch trigger. With the screwdriver held
in normal operating position, the direction of rotation lever
should be positioned to the left of the switch for forward
driving operation. The direction of rotation is in reverse when
the lever is to the right of the switch.
NOTE: The screwdriver will not run unless forward/reverse
lever is pushed fully to the left or right. The design of the
switch will not permit changing the direction of rotation while
the screwdriver is running. Release the switch trigger and
allow the screwdriver to stop before changing its direction.
SETTING DEPTH
See Figure 9, page 10.
The adjustable nosepiece will automatically drive screws to
preset depths. Begin each new job by driving several test
screws in scrap material to check and adjust the depth setting.
To make preset depth adjustments:
 Rotate the adjusting sleeve until you obtain the desired
depth for the bit holder or screwdriver bit.
 Test drive a screw in scrap material to determine if it is
correct.
 Adjust as necessary to increase or decrease the desired
depth.
DRIVING SCREWS
See Figure 10, page 10.
There are two options for gripping the handle of the screw-
driver, determined by operator comfort and working angle.
The screwdriver has a variable speed switch for operator
control of speed and torque limits.
 Be sure the screwdriver is in the locked-off position.
 Check the direction of rotation lever for correct setting
(forward or reverse).
 Secure the workpiece. Use clamps if necessary.
 Install the battery pack.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the screwdriver. Do not
lock the switch ON for jobs where the screwdriver may
need to be stopped suddenly.
 Hold the screwdriver firmly and place the bit and screw
at the point to be driven.
NOTE: The bit holder is magnetized and will hold most
commercial drywall screws.
 Apply quick, snap-action type pressure to the bit. The
pressure applied will engage the clutch and drive the
screw.
