OPERATION

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)

See Figure 6.

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and 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 trigger 
for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector 
is to the right of the switch trigger. 
Setting the switch trigger in the 

OFF

 (center lock) position 

helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not 
in use.

CAUTION:

To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck 
to come to a complete stop before changing the 
direction of rotation. 

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

NOTE: 

The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation 

selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods 
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may 
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the 
drill by running it without a load and at full speed.

KEYLESS CHUCK

See Figure 7.

The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits 
in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which 
direction to rotate the chuck body in order to

 LOCK

 (tighten) 

or 

UNLOCK

 (release) the drill bit.

WARNING:

Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use 
the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on 
the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, 
or your hand could slip and come in contact with 
the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident 
resulting in serious personal injury.

TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN

See Figure 7.

The 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 the 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.
