Operating Instructions
Protection against Deep
Discharging
The lithium ion battery is protected against
deep discharging by the “Electronic Cell
Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is
empty, the tool is switched off by means of
a protective circuit.
Variable Speed Controlled
Trigger Switch
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool can be turned
"ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the
trigger. The speed can be adjusted from
the minimum to maximum nameplate RPM
by the pressure you apply to the trigger.
Apply more pressure to increase the speed
and release pressure to decrease speed
(Fig. 1).

position to help prevent accidental starts
and accidental discharge.
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.
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock
4
located
above the trigger (Fig. 7). This lever was
designed for changing rotation of the bit,
and for locking the trigger in an “OFF”
position.
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 lock the trigger in the “OFF” position,
move the lever to the center.
Gear Shifting
Your tool is equipped with two separate
gear ranges, low gear and high gear. Low
g e a r p r o v i d e s h i g h - t o r q u e a n d s l o w e r
drilling speeds for heavy duty work or for
driving screws. High gear provides faster
speeds for drilling lighter work. To change
speeds slide the gear selector

, to the
high position “2” or low position “1” (Fig.
1).
ATTENTION:
If your tool appears to be
running, but the chuck will not turn, check
to make sure the gear selector is pushed
fully into desired setting.
