Variable Speed Switch (Fig. 2)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (A). To turn the tool off, release the
trigger switch. Your tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop when the trigger
switch is fully released.
The variable speed switch enables you to start the application at a slow speed. The
farther you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For maximum tool life,
use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage
the switch and should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 2)
A forward/reverse control button (B) 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 forward/reverse
control button on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the
tool. The center 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.
Worklights (Fig. 2)
There are three worklights (H) located around the chuck collar (D). The worklight will
be activated when the trigger switch is squeezed.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to
be used as a flashlight.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. 2)
The torque adjustment collar (C) is clearly marked with numbers and the max
position. The collar should be rotated until the desired setting is located at the top
of the tool. Locators are provided in the collar to eliminate the guess work when
selecting fastening torque. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the
torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To lock the clutch for drilling
operations, move to the max position.
IMPORTANT: When attaching or replacing the belt hook, use only the screw (I) that is
provided. Be sure to securely tighten screw.
The belt hook (E) can be be attached to either side of the tool using only the screw (I)
provided, to accommodate left- or right- handed users. If the hook is not desired at
all, it can be removed from the tool.
To move belt hook, remove the screw (I) that holds the belt hook in place then
reassemble on the opposite side. Be sure to securely tighten screw.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, place the forward/
reverse button in the lock-off position or turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack (Fig. 3)
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is fully charged.
To install the battery pack (F) into the tool handle, align the battery with the rails inside
the tool’s handle and slide it firmly into the handle until you hear the lock snap into
place.
