4. OPERATION
Your new V-RAD tool will come with a torque chart as seen in Figure 1.1 affixed to the gear box of the tool. The torque chart displays alpha and numeric characters that are dialed in on the tool that correspond to the torque values to the right. To select a desired torque, dial in your V-RAD by using the alpha and numeric selections on top of the V-RAD gun Figure 1.2. For example, for preset (G6) dial the alpha dial so that the black arrow underneath is pointing at the (G) and dial the numeric dial so that the arrow on top is pointing at the (6).
Do not attempt to run the tool with settings that are not displayed on the torque chart. Failure to do so could cause the tool to fail and void your warranty.

4. OPERATION
• To switch your V-RAD into forward and reverse, move the switch in the direction of the arrow that is shown in Figure 1.3
• On the top of the V-RAD there will be a selector switch (shown in Figure 1.4) that will show a picture of a drill bit on the left side. This is correct position for this switch If the switch is moved to the left and a picture of a hammer is shown on the right, the gun is set improperly.
• On the handle of your V-RAD there will be a small button (shown in Figure 1.5) that is used as a trigger locking mechanism and has been locked out for your safety. Do not try to push this button in and enable this mechanism—it will put the user at risk of injury.
