Troubleshooting
Ratchet mechanism is stiff or not engaging.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism. Apply a small amount of light lubricating oil to the ratchet and work it back and forth. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require professional inspection.
Bit holder is difficult to insert or remove bits.
Check the bit holder for any dirt or damage. Ensure you are using standard 1/4" hex bits. Pull back the collar of the quick-release holder to insert or remove bits smoothly.
Pivoting head feels loose or won't hold position.
Inspect the pivot joint for wear or damage. Some models may have adjustable tension; consult the manual. If damaged, contact customer support.
Handle feels uncomfortable during use.
Ensure you are holding the handle correctly to utilize the Ergonic design. The three-component handle is designed to adapt to a natural grip. Try different grip positions to find the most comfortable for your hand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Insert a standard 1/4" hex bit into the quick-release bit holder. Ensure the bit is fully seated.
To pivot the head, typically there is a locking mechanism or friction fit that allows it to be moved to the desired angle (up to 180°).
Select the ratcheting direction (forward, reverse, or locked) using the integrated switch, usually located near the bit holder.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all standard 1/4" hex shank screwdriver bits.
Care:
Wipe the tool clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris.
Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the handle material.
Periodically check the ratcheting mechanism and pivot for smooth operation. A drop of light lubricating oil can be applied sparingly if needed, ensuring it doesn't attract excessive dirt.
Store in a dry place to prevent rust on metal components.
