OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Two-Speed Gear Box
a. The drill/driver has a two-speed gear box designed
for drilling or driving at two different variable-speed
ranges. A gear selector (F) is located on the top of
the drill/driver to select either 1 (Low) or 2 (High)
speed.
b. When set to 1, the drill/driver will deliver lower
speeds and increased power and torque.
c. When set to 2, the drill/driver will deliver higher
speeds and reduced power and torque.
d. Use 1 for high power and high torque applications
and 2 for fast drilling or driving applications.
e. Use
1
for starting holes without a center punch,
drilling metals, plastics or ceramics, or in applications
that require a higher torque.
f.
2
is better for drilling wood and wood composites and
for using abrasive and polishing accessories.
NOTICE:
Never change gears while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill/driver.
NOTICE:
Avoid running the drill/driver at 1 speed for
extended periods of time. Running at 1 speed under
constant use may cause the drill/driver to become
overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill/driver by
running it without a load at 2 speed.
