OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Use
1
for starting holes without a center punch, drilling
metals, plastics or ceramics, or in applications that
require a higher torque.
2
is better for drilling wood and wood composites and for
using abrasive and polishing accessories.
NOTE:
Never change gears while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill/driver.
NOTE:
Avoid running the drill/driver at
1
speed for
extended periods of time. Running at
1
speed under
constant use may cause the drill/driver to become
overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill/driver by running
it without a load at
2
speed.
DIRECTION-OF-ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/CENTER LOCK/REVERSE) (Fig. 5)
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the trigger switch (A). With
the drill/driver held in the normal operating position,
pointing away from you:
1.
Position the direction-of-rotation selector (B) to the
left of the tool for forward rotation.
2.
Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the right
of the tool for reverse rotation.
3.
Setting the switch in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use.
NOTE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the drill/driver to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation.
NOTE:
The drill/driver will not run unless the direction-of-rotation selector is engaged fully to the left
or right.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
To stop the drill/driver, release the trigger switch and allow the tool to come to a complete stop. The
electric brake quickly stops the rotation. This feature engages automatically when you release the
trigger switch.
NOTE:
This drill/driver is equipped with an electric brake.
When the brake is functioning properly, sparks may be
visible through the vent slots in the housing. This is
normal and is the action of the brake.
