OPERATION
Warning! Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, place the forward/reverse button in the lock-off
position or turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. A and H)
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
(9).
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (1). To turn
the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped
with a brake. The chuck will stop when the trigger switch is
fully released.
The variable speed switch enables you to select the best
speed for a particular application. The further you squeeze the
trigger, the faster the tool will operate. For maximum tool life,
use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
Note: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should be
avoided.
Forward/Reverse control button (Fig. A)
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
depress the forward/reverse control button on the right side
of the tool. To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse
control button on the left side of the tool. 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.
Note: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This
is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight (Fig. A)
There is a worklight (8) located under the torque adjustment
collar (3). The worklight will be activated when the trigger
switch is squeezed.
Note: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. A)
The torque adjustment collar (3) is clearly marked with
numbers and a drill bit symbol.The collar should be rotated
until the desired setting is located at the top of the tool.
Locators are provided in the collar to eliminate the guess
work when selecting fastening torque. The higher the
number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger
the fastener which can be driven. To lock the clutch for
drilling operations, move to the drill bit position.
Note: When using the drill/driver for drilling holes, be sure
that the torque adjusting collar is set so the figure of the drill is
aligned with the center line on the top ofthe tool. Failure to do
this will allow the clutch to slip while attempting to drill.
Dual range gearing (Fig. A and D)
The dual range feature of your driver/drill allows you to shift
gears for greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn the tool
off and permit to stop. Slide the gear shifter (4) forward
(towards the chuck). To select the high speed, low torque
setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear
shifter back (away from chuck).
Note: Do not change gears when the tool is running. If you
are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual
range gear shifter is either completely pushed forward
or completely pushed back.
Keyless single sleeve chuck (Fig. E)
Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating sleeve
for one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit
or other accessory, follow these steps.
1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as previously
described.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and
use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve
counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired
accessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 19mm (3/4”) into the chuck
and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve
clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the
other. Your tool is equipped with an automatic spindle
lock mechanism. This allows you to open and close the
chuck with one hand.
4. To release the accessory, repeat step 2 above.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten 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 result. Always lock off trigger switch when
changing accessories. Be sure to tighten chuck with one
