OPERATION
n
Remove battery pack from your drill.
WARNING
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be locked when
not in use or carrying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4.
n
To turn your drill ON, depress the switch trigger.
n
To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
The switch trigger delivers higher speed and torque with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
NOTE:
You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the
switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal
part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
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 trig-
ger 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 CHUCKk
See Figure 5.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck
with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other hand.
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-SPEEDd GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 6.
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.
AJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
This product is equipped with an adjustable torque clutch
for driving different types of screws into different materials.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 7.
There are twenty-four torque indicator settings located on
the front of the drill.
n
