2 Speed gearbox

The 2 speed gearbox allows  

you to select a gear with the 

optimum speed and torque to 

suit the application.
To select the first gear (low 

speed, high torque setting), turn 

the tool off and wait until it stops.
Push the gear selector (5) back, towards the chuck, so that 

LOW

” is displayed.

Note.

 Use the first gear for  

high torque applications such as 

driving screws into decking.
To select the second gear (high 

speed, low torque setting), turn 

the tool off and wait until it stops. 

Slide the gear selector (5) away 

from the chuck so that “

HIGH

” is 

displayed.

Note.

 Use the second gear for high speed applications such 

as driving screws into drywalls

CAUTION.

 Do not change gears when the tool is running.

Variable speed

The variable speed feature 

enables you to select the best 

speed for a particular application. 
The farther you squeeze the 

trigger, the faster the tool will 

operate.
Use lower speeds when starting 

the driving process or when removing screws or other 

fasteners as it delivers higher torque and helps overcome 

initial resistance.

Note.

 Do not continuously operate the drill at different 

speeds. It may damage the switch.

Removing the 

adjustment collar and 

nose cone assembly

adjustment or maintenance 

procedures.
Turn the locking collar (4) 

clockwise (viewed from the front) 

until it reaches a stop.
Ensure that the marker opening 

on the locking collar (4) aligns 

with the marker line on the 

adjustment collar (3).

Pull out the adjustment collar (3) and nose cone (1).
