Troubleshooting
The tool does not start when the trigger is pressed.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and securely seated in the battery bay.
Performance seems sluggish under load.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have an 18V Power X-Change battery charged and ready. Slide the battery into the base of the handle until it clicks securely. To attach a socket, press it onto the 1/2-inch square drive; ensure the included retaining pin and O-ring are installed to keep the socket secure during high-vibration tasks. For maintenance, keep the ventilation slots clear of debris to ensure the motor stays cool. Periodically wipe the tool body with a clean, dry cloth. If the tool is used in dusty environments, use compressed air to gently clear out the internal cooling fan areas.
