Small screws in softwood.
Medium screws in softwood or small
screws in hardwood.
Large screws in softwoods. Medium
screws in hardwood or large screws in
hardwood with pilot hole.
NOTE:
Because the settings shown in the table are only
a guide, use a piece of scrap material to test the different
clutch settings before driving screws into the workpiece.

To use the driving screws
mode
rotate the application
selector collar until the drive
symbol
appears in line with
the arrow. Then rotate the torque
selector collar until the desired
clutch setting appears in line with
the arrow.
The adjustable clutch, when properly adjusted,
will slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the
screw too deep into different materials and to
prevent damage to the screw or tool.
The torque specifications shown here are approximate
values obtained with a fully charged battery pack.

Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To
start
the tool, grasp the handles firmly and
pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is
pulled.
2. To
vary
the speed, increase or decrease the
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger
is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To
stop
the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the bit comes to a complete stop before laying
the tool down.
Drilling
Place the bit on the work surface and apply firm
pressure before starting. Too much pressure will
slow the bit and reduce drilling efficiency. Too little
pressure will cause the bit to slide over the work
area and dull the point of the bit.
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure slightly
to allow the bit to regain speed. If the bit binds,
reverse the motor to free the bit from the workpiece.

Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing.
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before
changing speeds. See “Applications” for recom-
mended speeds under various conditions.

speed, push the speed selector to
display “1”.
2. For
High
speed, push the speed selector to
display “2”.
Using the 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 ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow
the motor to come to a complete stop before using
the control switch.
For
forward
(clockwise)
rotation, push in the con-
trol switch from the right
side of the tool.
Check
the direction of rotation
before use.
For
reverse
(counterclockwise) rotation, push in the
control switch from the left 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 or remove the battery
pack before performing maintenance, changing
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool
is not in use.
warning
To reduce the risk of injury,
always hold or brace securely.
