Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (Fig. C)

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 result. Always lock off trigger
switch and remove the battery from the tool when

Your tool features a keyless chuck

with one rotating chuck

sleeve

for one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill

bit or other accessory, follow these steps.

1. Turn tool off and remove the battery pack.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and

use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve
anticlockwise (as viewed from the front) far enough to
accept the desired accessory.

3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm into the chuck and

tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise
with one hand while holding the tool with the other hand.
Continue to rotate the chuck sleeve until several ratchet
clicks are heard to ensure full gripping power.

nOTE:

Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on

the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for
maximum tightness.

To release the accessory, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.

Worklight (Fig. A)

There is a worklight

located on the foot of the tool. The

worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated
for up to 20 seconds.

nOTE:

The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface

and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

Dual Range Gearing (Fig. A)

The dual range feature of your drill/driver allows you to shift
gears for greater versatility.

1. To select speed 1 (high torque setting), turn the tool off and

permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter

forward (towards

the chuck).

Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. A)

Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for
driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes
and in some models, a hammer mechanism for drilling into
masonry. Circling the torque adjustment collar

are numbers, a

drill bit symbol, and on some models, a hammer symbol. These
numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range.
The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and
the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the
numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow.

Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. A)

A forward/reverse control button

determines the direction of

the tool and also serves as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress

the for ward/re verse control button on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the

forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool.
The centre position of the control button locks the tool in the off

position. When changing the position of the control button, be

sure the trigger is released.

nOTE:

The first time the tool is run after changing the direction

of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.

Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)

To turn the tool on, squeeze the variable speed trigger switch

To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is
equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger
switch is fully released.

nOTE:

Continuous use in variable speed range is not

recommended. It may damage the switch and should
be avoided.

2. Insert battery pack into the charger as described in the

charger section of this manual.

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)

Some

WALT

battery packs include a fuel gauge which consists

of three green LED lights that indicate the level of charge
remaining in the battery pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge
button

. A combination of the three green LED lights will

illuminate designating the level of charge left. When the level of
charge in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge
will not illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.

nOTE:

The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on

the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-user application.

2. To select speed 2 (low torque setting), turn the tool off and

permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter back (away from
the chuck).

nOTE:

Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always

allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing
gears. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that
the dual range gear shifter is either completely pushed forward
or completely pushed back.
