two-speed gear box
(fig 8)
This drill/driver features a two-speed gearbox that
is designed for drilling or driving at LO speed or hI
speed. A slide switch is located on the top of the
cordless drill/driver to select either LO or hI speed.
When using the cordless drill/driver in the LO speed
range, the speed will decrease and the cordless drill/
driver will have more power and torque.
When using the cordless drill/driver in the hI speed
range, the speed will increase and the cordless
drill/driver will have less power and torque.
Use LO speed for high power and torque
applications, and use hI speed for fast drilling
applications.
CAUTION!
do not change between LO speed and
hI speed while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could
result in serious damage to the
cordless drill/driver.
Adjustable torque clutch
(fig 9)
The torque clutch can be adjusted to any of 24 different settings (23 driving and 1 drilling). The higher the
torque setting, the more force the cordless drill/driver produces to turn an object in either LO or hI rotation
speed.
When using the cordless drill/driver for driving applications, it is necessary to increase or decrease the
torque to help prevent damage to screw heads, threads, and the workpiece. Adjust the torque by rotating
the torque-adjustment ring. The proper setting depends on the job and the type of bit, fastener, and material
you will be using.
In general, use greater torque for larger screws, but if the torque is too high, the screws may be damaged
or broken. For delicate operations, such as removing a partially stripped screw, use a low torque setting. For
operations such as drilling into hardwood, use a higher torque setting.
note:
do not change the torque setting when the tool is running.
note:
When adjusting the torque ring, make sure that the speed switch is either completely in the LO or the
hI position.
installing a bit
(fig 10)
1. Lock the trigger switch by placing the
direction-of-rotation selector in the OFF (centre)
position.
2. Rotate the chuck in the “OPeN” direction to
release the jaws of the chuck on the bit.
3. Insert the drill bit.
4. Rotate the chuck in the “GRIP” direction to tighten
the jaws of the chuck securely on the bit.
WARNING!
do not hold the body of the chuck with
one hand while using the power of the
drill/driver to tighten the jaws of the
chuck on the drill bit. The body of the
chuck could slip in your hand, or your
hand could slip and come into contact
with the rotating bit. This could cause
an accident and result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING!
Be sure to insert the drill bit straight into the jaws of the chuck. do not tighten the jaws of the
chuck with the drill bit inserted at an angle, as shown in fig 11. doing so could cause the drill
bit to be thrown from the drill/driver, which could result in possibly serious personal injury or
damage to the chuck.
removing a bit
(fig 10)
1. Lock the trigger switch by placing the direction-of rotation selector in the OFF (centre) position.
2. Open the jaws of the chuck (rotate in the “OPeN” direction.)
3. Remove the drill bit.
WARNING!
Use protective gloves when removing the bit from the tool, or first allow the bit to cool down.
The bit may be hot after prolonged use.
