To remove battery pack
u
Depress the battery release button (7) as shown in figure
B and pull battery pack out of tool.
Trigger switch & forward/reverse button - figure C
u
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing
the trigger switch (1) shown in figure C. The farther the
trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
u
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the
rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off
button.
u
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button on the right
side of the tool.
u
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control
button on the left side of the tool.
u
The center position of the control button locks the tool in
the off position. When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
Adjusting torque control - figure D
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3) to select
the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening
screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials.
u
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
the drilling position symbol.
u
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
u
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is
achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw.
u
Repeat until you reach the correct setting.
u
Use this setting for the remaining screws.
Dual range switch - figure E
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears
for greater versatility.
u
To select low speed, high torque setting (position1),
turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button (4)
away from the chuck.
u
To select the high speed, low torque setting (position
2), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter but-
ton back toward the chuck.
Note: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are
having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range
gear button is either completely pushed forward or completely
pushed back.
keyless chuck - figure F
Warning! Make certain the battery pack is removed to prevent
tool actuation before installing or removing accessories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
u
Grasp the chuck (5) and rotate it in the counterclockwise
direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
u
Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and
tighten securely by rotating the chuck in the clockwise
direction as viewed from the chuck end.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten or loosen drill bits (or any
other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and
turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury
may occur when changing accessories.
Screw driving
u
For driving fasteners, the forward/reverse button should
be pushed to the left.
u
Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing
fasteners.
Note: When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa,
always release the trigger switch first.
Drilling
u
Use sharp drill bits only.
u
Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
u
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
u
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
u
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out
of it.
u
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
u
Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the han -
dle, and the other gripping the bottom around the battery
area or the auxiliary handle if provided.
u
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
u
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
u
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled
hole. This will help reduce jamming.
u
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes.
