Troubleshooting
Impact screwdriver not turning on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the safety lock is engaged and release it. Verify the forward/reverse switch is in the desired position.
Lack of power or slow performance.
The battery may be low on charge; recharge it fully. Ensure the screw size is within the specified limits (M8 metal, 8 mm wood). Check the screwdriver bit for wear or damage.
Impact mechanism not engaging.
This can sometimes happen if the tool is not under sufficient load. Try driving a screw into a harder material or ensure the forward/reverse switch is firmly in the driving position.
Overheating during use.
Allow the tool to cool down between prolonged high-load tasks. Ensure ventilation slots are clear of debris.
