CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES (cont.)
•
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using
it recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
The ON/OFF Switch
Turn the drill ON by depressing the switch. To turn the tool OFF, release the switch.
Speed Control
The speed can be varied from 0 to maximum, depending on the pressure applied to
the switch. This way you can select the best possible speed for the job being done.
Changing the Direction of Rotation
The direction of rotation can be changed with the forward/reverse slide lever above
the switch.
To select the forward drilling position, push the slide lever hard left. To select the
reverse drilling position, push the slide lever hard right.
The switch can be locked off by pushing the forward / reverse slide lever into the
middle of both forward and reverse positions.
Do not change the direction of rotation while the chuck is still in motion.
Torque Settings
(Tightening Power of Your Cordless Drill)
When using your drill for various driving applications, it becomes necessary to increase
and decrease the power and torque in order to prevent the possibility of damaging
screw heads, threads, work piece, etc.
In general, power and torque should correspond to the difficulty of the screw to be
driven. If torque is too high the screws may be damaged or broken.
To Adjust Torque
•
Locate the arrow on the front of the housing.
•
Identify the torque settings and 1 drill setting on the torque adjustment ring.
•
Rotate the adjustment ring to the desired setting aligning the number on the
adjustment ring with the arrow on the housing.
•
To increase or decrease torque, rotate torque adjustment ring. The lower the
number, the lower the torque setting. The higher the number, the higher the
torque setting.
Always check that the correct torque is selected by practising on scrap material prior to
carrying out a job.
