Precision Drive™ (Fig.A)
DCF801
In addition to normal impacting modes, this tool features the
Precision Drive™ mode which enables greater control in lighter
applications to avoid damage to materials or fasteners. It is ideal
for light applications such as cabinet hinge screws or machine
screws. Precision Drive™ mode will work as ascrewdriver in light
applications, before hesitating as the screw head reaches the
work piece, and then (if required) start aslow controlled impact
to ensure the head ends perfectlyflush.
NOTE: This mode is for light duty screwdriving applications.
If the tool will not drive afastener in Precision Drive™
Mode, please select Lo Mode which will give the additional
powerrequired.

Precision Wrench™ (Fig. A)
DCF902
In addition to low speed impacting modes, this tool features
the Precision Wrench™ mode which grants the user greater
control in both fastening and loosening applications. When set
in forward, the tool will fasten until impacting begins. The tool
will then pause for 0.5 seconds before continuing to impact,
providing the user with greater control and reducing the chance
of overtightening or damagingmaterial.
When set in reverse, the tool will impact at anormal speed.
Upon sensing that the fastener has broken free, the tool will
cease to impact and will reduce speed to help prevent “run-off”
of loosehardware.
