VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the
maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release
pressure to decrease speed. This accurate
speed control enables you to drill without
center punching. It also permits you to use
as a power screwdriver. Bits are available for
driving screws as well as running bolts and
nuts (Fig. 1).
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located
above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was
designed for changing rotation of the chuck,
and for locking the trigger in an “OFF”
position to help prevent accidental starts
and accidental battery discharge. For
forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away
from you) move the lever to the far left. For
reverse rotation move the lever to the far
right. To activate trigger lock move lever to
the center off position.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop.
Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to
the tool.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 5 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the clutch ring, is
rotated from 1 to 5. The drill “ ” position will
permit drilling and driving heavy duty work,
and also enables bits to be changed quickly
and easily in the keyless chuck (Fig. 2).
INSERTING BIT
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert
the bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert
the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as
you close the jaws by hand. This positions
the bit properly, giving maximum contact
between the chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with
one hand and securely tighten the chuck
sleeve with the other hand (Fig. 3).
Do not use the power of
the drill while grasping
chuck to loosen or tighten bit.
Friction
burn or hand injury is possible if attempting
to grasp the spinning chuck.
REMOVING CHUCK
Rotate the clutch ring to the drill bit symbol
“ ”. Open the chuck all the way, remove left-
hand thread screw inside chuck by turning it
clockwise. Insert the short arm of a 3/8" hex
key wrench and close jaws on flats of
wrench. Strike long arm of wrench sharply
counterclockwise, remove wrench and
unthread chuck from spindle (Fig. 4).
INSTALLING CHUCK
Always keep the spindle threads, the threads
of the chuck and securing screw free of
debris. To install a chuck, reverse “removing
the chuck” procedure.
RELEASING AND INSERTING
BATTERY PACK
Release battery pack from tool by pressing
on both sides of the battery release tabs and
pull downwards. To insert battery, align
battery and slide battery pack into tool until it
locks into position (Fig.1). Do not force.
