DUAL RANGE GEARING (FIGURE G)
The dual range feature of your drill allows you
to shift gears for greater versatility. To select
low speed, high torque setting (position 1), turn
tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter
button (5) away from the chuck. To select the
high speed, low torque setting (position 2), turn
tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter
button towards the chuck.
NOTE: Do not change gears when tool is
running. If you are having trouble changing
gears, make sure that the dual range gear
button is either completely pushed forward or
completely pushed back.
SCREW DRIVING
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse
(button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to reverse,
or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
ON BOARD BIT STORAGE (FIGURE H)
A bit storage slot (10) is built-in to the area just above the
battery pack.
LED Work Light (FIGURE I)
When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the
integrated LED work light (6) will automatically illuminate
the work area. Do not use LED work light as flashlight.
DRILLING
Use sharp drill bits only.
Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the
drill bit from slipping out of it.
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting
but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting action.
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the
last part of the hole.
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce
jamming.
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used for metal or with spade bits.
These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes.
