Setting and testing
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM acciDEntaL OpEratiOn:
Make sure that the trigger is in the off-position and remove its Battery
pack before performing any procedure in this section.
Drill Bit installation
cautiOn!
Wear heavy-duty work gloves to provide
protection when inserting and removing drill bits.
Drill bits become very hot during use.
Do not remove drill bits until the bit has cooled.
1. While holding the ring behind the collar of the
Chuck with one hand, rotate the collar of the
Chuck counterclockwise until the jaws of the
drill are opened enough to fit the drill bit.
2. Use a drill bit designed for the workpiece type.
Place the desired drill bit or screwdriver bit
into the drill between the Chuck Jaws.
note:
In addition to single or double-ended
screwdriver bits, adapters with hex shafts with
matching socket heads can also be used.
3. Hand tighten the Chuck until the bit is held securely
in place, centered between the Chuck Jaws.
4. Set the desired torque setting by rotating
the Torque Adjustment Ring.
a.
use the numbered torque settings from
1 to 20 for driving screws, bolts and nuts.
• The torque setting required depends on the
being driven. In the case of screws, consider
the size, length, and type of material.
• If a pilot hole has been drilled into the material,
a lower torque setting will be required.
• Fix the torque setting low enough to allow
a safety margin. Use a very low torque
setting when first driving small screws into
soft materials. Then adjust the setting as
the proper force required is determined.
b.
use the setting marked by the
drill icon for drilling.
nOticE: use sharp bits. Dull, bent, or damaged
bits will cause stress on the drill and/or break.
Workpiece and Work area Set up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
3. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
