OPERATION

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)

HI (2

) speeds. A slide switch is

located on top of the drill to select either

LO (1)

HI (2)

speed. When using the drill in the

LO (1)

speed range,

speed will decrease and the unit will have more power
and torque. When using the drill in the

HI (2)

speed

range, speed will increase and the 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.
