Decide on which setting to choose:

4. 

Torque Settings:  

Use one of the 22 settings (1-23) for 

screwdriver usage. 

Use the Drill Bit setting for use with 

drill bits.

The different sizes of Bit Adapters 

(62) are an indication of how much 

torque the Cordless Drill/Driver will 

apply to the bit before the clutch slips, 

allowing the bit to stop and helping 

to prevent damage to the screw, bit, 

or workpiece.  The larger the screw, 

the more torque is applied before the 

clutch slips.  Unless when drilling, 

always start with a lower number to 

help prevent damage.  This Cordless 

Drill/Driver also has torque settings 

between the screws to allow a great-

er range of control.
Drill Setting (

):

This setting essentially prevents the 

clutch from slipping entirely.  It is de-

signed for drilling, but is not advised 

for using a screwdriver bit because it 

offers no protection against stripping 

the head or splitting the wood.
To use the screwdriver function, in-

5. 

sert the Bit Adapter into the Chuck as 

detailed in Step 1.  Insert the required 

screwdriver bit into the Bit Adapter.
Set the drilling torque by turning the 

6. 

Torque Control (6) so that it lines up 

with the Arrow on the center top of 

the Cordless Drill/Driver. 
When driving screws, start with a 

7. 

lower torque setting.
When drilling in light gauge metal or 

8. 

wood, use a wooden block to back up 

the material and prevent damage to 

the workpiece.
Mark the center of the hole to be 

9. 

drilled with a center punch (not in-

cluded) to give a Drill Bit a starting 

point and to prevent it from “walking”.

Lubricate the Drill Bit with cutting oil 

10. 

(not included) when drilling iron or 

steel.  Use a coolant (not included) 

when drilling nonferrous metals such 

as copper, brass, or aluminum.
Insert the fully charged Battery Pack 

11. 

into the Handle of the Drill/Driver.

The Direction Lever (38) allows you 

12. 

to change the rotational direction of 

the Drill/Driver.  For a clockwise rota-

tion, move the Lever forward.  For a 

counterclockwise rotation, move the 

Lever back.  The center position locks 

the Trigger (61), to prevent the Drill/

Driver from operating.

CauTIOn:  never attempt to change 

rotational direction while Chuck is 

rotating.

Hold the Cordless Drill/Driver firmly 

13. 

with both hands, as torque from the 

Motor can cause the tool to twist.

Operate Drill by squeezing Trigger.  

14. 

The speed of can be controlled by 

varying the pressure on the Trigger.
If the clutch starts slipping before the 

15. 

screw is in all the way, stop the drill, 

put the Direction Lever in the center 

position and change the torque set-

ting.  Reset the rotation direction be-

fore continuing.
If Drilling:

16. 

Use the Drill torque setting, as de-

scribed above.
