DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 1, page 10.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the
OFF
(center lock)
position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental
starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward drilling. Position the selector to the
right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE:
The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock the
switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when
installing or removing the battery pack, and when install-
ing or removing bits.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page 10.
Lock the switch trigger.
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and the battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator’s manu-
als for your battery pack and charger.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 3 - 4, page 10.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck sleeve to tighten or release the drill bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
To install bits,
lock the switch trigger.
Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly
larger than the bit size you intend to use.
Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck
jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an
angle, then tighten. This could cause the drill bit to be
thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious per-
sonal injury or damage to the chuck.
Rotate the chuck sleeve to close and tighten the chuck
jaws.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck sleeve with one hand and use the
power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill
bit. The chuck sleeve 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.
To remove bits,
lock the switch trigger and open the
chuck jaws.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 5, page 10.
Select
low speed
(1)
for applications requiring higher
power and torque, such as driving screws and drilling in
metal.
Select high speed
(2)
for fast drilling or driving applica-
tions, for drilling in wood or masonry.
NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running. Failure
to obey this caution could result in serious damage to
the drill.
NOTE:
If you have difficulty changing from one speed range
to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 6, page 10.
When using the hammer drill for various driving applications,
beginning with a lower torque setting helps prevent the pos-
sibility 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 clutch torque and mode selector ring.
The torque is greater when the clutch torque and mode
selector ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less
when the clutch torque and mode selector ring is set on a
lower setting.
Rotate the adjustment ring to the proper torque setting for
the type of material and size of screw you are using.

materials

• 17 - 22 For driving large screws
•
For heavy drilling
•
For drilling into masonry and concrete.
