TORQUE CONTROL (FIGURE H)

This tool is fitted with a collar (3) to select the operating mode and to set the torque for
tightening screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require a higher torque
setting than small screws and soft workpiece materials.

•

For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to the drilling position symbol .

•

For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you do not yet know the
appropriate setting, proceed as follows:

•

Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.

•

Tighten the first screw.

•

If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved, increase the collar setting
and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining screws.

KEYLESS CHUCK (FIGURE I)

To insert a drill bit or other accessory:

1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4) with one hand and use your other hand to rotate

the front half in the counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.

2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding

the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as
viewed from the chuck end.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the

front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury
may occur when changing accessories.

OPERATING THE LASER

Your drill is equipped with a laser which is turned on and off separately from the tool.

WARNING: NEVER aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective surface.

Bright

shiny reflective sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not recommended for laser
use. Reflective surfaces could direct the beam back toward the operator.

CAUTION: LASER RADIATION. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. Do not stare

into the laser light source. Never aim light at another person or object other than
the workpiece.

Laser light can damage your eyes.

WARNING: DO NOT use tinted glasses to enhance the laser light.

Tinted glasses

will reduce overall vision for the application and interfere with the normal operation of the
tool.

•

To turn the laser on, slide the laser on/off button (6) to the (I) position.

•

To turn the laser off, slide the laser on/off button (6) to the (0) position.
