REVERSIBLE

See Figure 4.

This tool has the feature of being reversible. The direction of 
rotation is controlled by a selector located above the switch 
trigger. With the drill held in normal operating position, the 
direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left 
of the switch for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed 
when the selector is to the right of the switch. When the 
selector is in center position, the switch trigger is locked.

CAUTION: 

To prevent gear damage, always allow chuck to 
come  to  a  complete  stop  before  changing  the 
direction of rotation or the two speed gear train 
(hi-lo).

To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to come 
to a complete stop.

TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN

See Figure 7. 

Your drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or 
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on 
top of your drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When 
using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease 
and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill 
in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and unit will 
have less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for high power 
and torque applications and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or 
driving applications.

AUXILIARY HANDLE

See Figure 8.

An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of op-
eration and to help prevent loss of control. 
To use the auxiliary handle:

n

  Open the clamping ring by turning the handle counter-

clockwise. 

n

  Slide the ring of the auxiliary handle onto the spindle  col-

lar of the machine behind the torque adjustment ring.

n

  Tighten the auxiliary handle at the desired angle by turn-

ing the handle clockwise. 

Note:

 For convenience the screw has been trapped inside 

the auxiliary handle.
To prevent thread damage and possible loss of control, the 
auxiliary handle should be checked periodically for tightness. 
Do not operate the drill with the handle loose.
