GET TO KNOW YOUR CORDLESS DRILL
Chuck
No key is required for operation. To secure a bit, hold the rear portion of the chuck
(b) securely with one hand and turn the front portion (a) anticlockwise (from the
front) . To remove the bit, repeat the foregoing but turn the chuck clockwise.
Removing the Chuck
Open the jaws to their fullest extent
to allow a cross head screwdriver
to be inserted, down through the
jaws, to engage in the cross head
slot of the securing screw.. The
5
screw has a
LEFT HAND THREAD
and must
therefore be turned
CLOCKWISE
. With the
screw fully loosened, grasp the chuck
and unscrew it from the drill in the normal
manner, i.e., by screwing it
ANTICLOCKWISE.
Variable Speed
Variable speed is possible according to the
amount of finger pressure on the trigger (d).
Torque Adjustment
(c)
(For correct tightening of screws/nuts)
This control is located immediately behind the chuck assembly and is numbered
in steps, the number of steps depends upon the model number. These settings
allow the exact amount of torque, or turning force required, to be applied and
will help maintain consistent performance, especially where there are many
identical fixings to be made. It is particularly useful for preventing excessive
tightening, but because of the wide variety of screws available and different
material densities, the optimum setting is best found by experiment.
Always release the main trigger immediately the percussive clicking sound is felt
and heard. This indicates that the tool has reached its torque setting and the bit
will turn no further. Turn to a lower number if screws go too deep or strip the material.
Turn to a higher number if screws stand too proud. NOTE: For drilling always set to
6 which is marked with a sign for a drill bit.
Direction of rotation
The 3-position control knob (e) controls forward or reverse direction of rotation.
Push the knob fully left or right
ONLY
when the chuck is
STATIONARY
.
When the knob is in the central position, the trigger is prevented from operating.
