INTERNAL SPINDLE LOCK
The internal spindle lock allows the user single-handed
control of chuck adjustments and bit changes. Squeezing
the chuck body stops the chuck jaws from turning. For
bit changes and chuck adjustments, squeeze the chuck
body and turn.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4.
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 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 (HI-LO)
See Figure 5.
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.
NOTE:
If you have difficulty changing from one gear
range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears
engage.
CAUTION:
Never change gears while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in
serious damage to the drill.
QUICK MODE SELECTOR
See Figure 6.
The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch
from drill mode to drive mode.
In general, drill mode should be used for drilling and
other heavy duty applications. Drive mode should be
used for driving screws.percussion mode should be used
for impact drilling.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 7.
When using the drill-driver for various driving
applications, it becomes necessary to increase
or decrease the torque in order to help prevent the
possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece,
etc. In general, torque intensity should correspond to the
screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too
small, the screws may be damaged or broken.
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.
The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring
is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the
torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and
the size of screw you are using.
BIT STORAGE
See Figure 2.
When not in use, bits provided with the drill can be
placed in the storage areas located on the base of the
drill.
