OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DUAL RANGE GEARING (FIGURE G)
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears
for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque setting
(position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter
button
(5)
away from the chuck. To select the high speed, low
torque setting (position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop.
Slide gear shifter button towards the chuck.
NOTE: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are having
trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear button
is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.
SCREW DRIVING
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse
(button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to
reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
DRILLING
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety
equipment, as instructed in the Safety
Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit
biting but not so much as to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands to
control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A
STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE
DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling
the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help
reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same
twist drill bits used for metal or with spade
bits. These bits should be sharp and should
be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass, which
should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants
that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or
lard oil.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to
Drilling section. Keep even force on the
drill but not so much that you crack the
brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean
the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid.
IMPORTANT:
To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment (other than those listed
in this manual) should be performed by
authorized service centers or other qualified
service personnel, always using identical
replacement parts.
KEYLESS CHUCK (FIGURE F)
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the chuck
(4)
with one hand rotates the chuck 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 chuck and rotate it in the
clockwise direction as viewed from the chuck end.

WARNING
Make certain the lock-off button is
engaged to prevent switch actuation
before installing or removing accessories.
WARNING
Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or
any other accessory) by gripping the
chuck and turning the tool on.
Damage to the chuck and personal injury
may occur when changing accessories.
ON BOARD BIT STORAGE (FIGURE H)
Two bit storage slots
(9)
is built-in to the area just above the
battery pack.
LED WORK LIGHT (FIGURE I)
When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch
(1)
, the
integrated LED work light
(6)
will automatically illuminate the
work area. Do not use LED work light as flashlight.
TORQUE CONTROL (FIGURE E)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment 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.
