Bracing for forward rotation
When drilling in forward, the bit will rotate in a
clockwise direction. If the bit binds in the hole, the
bit will come to a sudden stop and drill will suddenly
react in a counterclockwise direction.
The following figure shows an example of properly
bracing the tool for forward rotation.
A. Forward (clockwise) rotation
B. Reaction
C. Brace drill with motor housing here
If the bit binds, the motor housing braced against
the stud will hold the drill in position.
Warning
To reduce the risk of injury,
keep hands away from the bit and all moving
parts.
Bracing for reverse rotation
When drilling in reverse, the bit will rotate in a coun-
terclockwise direction. If the bit binds in the hole,
the bit will come to a sudden stop and the drill will
suddenly react in a clockwise direction.
The following figure shows an example of properly
bracing the tool for reverse rotation.
A. Reverse (counterclockwise) rotation
B. Reaction
C. Brace drill with motor motor housing here
If the bit binds, the motor housing braced against
the stud will hold the drill in position.
Using Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when
the trigger is not pulled. Always allow the motor to
come to a complete stop before using the control
switch.
For
Forward
(clockwise) rotation, push the control
switch from the left side of the tool.
Check the
direction of rotation before use.
For
Reverse
(counterclockwise) rotation, push the
control switch from the right side of the tool.
Check
direction of rotation before use.
To
Lock
the trigger,
push the control switch to
the center position. The trigger will not work while
the control switch is in the center locked position.
Always lock the trigger
and
remove the battery pack
before performing maintenance, changing acces-
sories, storing the tool and any time the tool is not
in use.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
These tools may be operated at any speed from
0 to full speed.
1. To
start
the tool, pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is
pulled.
2. To
vary
the driving speed, increase or decrease
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is
pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To
stop
the tool, release the trigger.
