FORWARD & REVERSE SWITCH
This feature is selected via a slide switch located
above the trigger, Fig.6. To select direction of the drill
rotation simply push the button fully in on the left side
for reverse rotation. To change to forward rotation push
the button fully in on the right side of the handle.
Note: As a safety precaution from accidental
engagement while being carried pushing the
forward/reverse button into the middle or neutral
position will render the drill inoperative.
Caution: To prevent gear damage, always allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
Note: The drill will not run unless the direction of
rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended
periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant
usage may cause the drill to become overheated. If this
occurs, cool the drill by running it without a load and at
full speed.
KEYLESS CHUCK (FIG.7)
Turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open the chuck
jaws. Place the bit in the chuck as far as it will go. Turn
the sleeve clockwise to tighten the chuck. To remove
the bit, turn the sleeve counterclockwise.
TWO SPEED GEAR TRAIN
This drill comes with a 2 speed gear train to give high
and low speed ranges. To change between the two
speed ranges slide the selector switch, located on top
of the drill, Fig.8.
Use the low (1) speed for high power and torque
applications and high (2) speed for fast drilling or
driving applications.
Do not use the speed speed gear train while the tool is
running. The tool may be damaged.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
This feature allows setting of the torque or tightening
power of your drill and depending on the application,
various levels of driving power are required. When
driving larger screw diameters a higher torque power is
required to drive the screw until it’s properly seated.
Rotate the torque collar until the desired torque setting
aligns with the arrow on the drill body, Fig.9.
When the selected torque is reached the chuck will
stop rotating. The proper setting depends on the type
of material and the size of screw you are using.
Note: Always start on the lowest setting.
The drill symbol gives the highest torque setting and is
used when drilling and for driving larger screws.
LED WORK LIGHT
Caution: Do not look in the light or see the source of
light directly.
Pull the On/Off trigger to light up the lamp. The lamp
keeps on lighting while the switch trigger is being
pulled. The lamp goes out immediately after releasing
the trigger.
INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP
Before fitting the belt clip set the forward/reverse
button to the centre position or turn tool off and
disconnect battery pack.
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not
suspend tool overhead or suspend objects from the
belt hook. Only hang the tool’s belt clip from a work
belt.
When attaching or replacing the belt clip, use only the
screw that is provided. Be sure to securely tighten the
screw with a Phillips screwdriver.
The belt clip can be be attached to either side of the
tool using only the screw provided, to accommodate
left or right handed users.
To move belt clip, remove the screw that holds the belt
clip in place then reassemble on the opposite side. Be
sure to securely tighten screw.
INSTALLING BITS
Before fitting any drill bits set the forward/reverse
button to the centre position.
Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the
opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to
use.
Insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not
insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle. This
could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill,
resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage
to the drill.
Tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit.
DRILLING
Check the direction of the forward/reverse button for
the correct setting.
Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let
the tool do the work.
Warning! Be prepared for binding at bit breakthrough.
When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to
grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and
could cause loss of control when breaking through
material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result
in possible serious injury.
