Ensure the cordless impact driver is switched off before inserting the battery pack into the tool. This is usually done by sliding the battery pack into the handle until you hear a ‘click’.
Inserting the screwdriver or drill bit
Step 2 – Select correct bit
Select an screwdriver bit or drill bit for the task at hand, ensuring it has a ¼” (6.35mm) shank in order to fit into the cordless impact driver.
Check that shank-end of the bit is clean and has not sustained any damage.
Step 3 – Use a bit holder
For shorter bits, you may wish to use a bit holder, which has a magnetic end for holding bits and a hexagonal shank that fits into the cordless impact driver’s chuck.
Step 4 – Insert bit
Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go, until you feel it engage with the back of the chuck.
Adjusting the settings
Step 5 – Set rotation
Adjust the forward/reverse switch so that it is in the ‘forward’ position.
Step 6 – Set speed
If your cordless impact driver has several gears to choose from, pick the one most suited to your current task.
