DRILL OPERATION, CONT’D
Operating the drill
1. Set the Direction Switch for the
desired rotation of the bit or driver.
The direction switch is the sliding
switch located just above the trigger.
When looking down on the drill, push-
ing the switch all the way to the right
will give a counterclockwise rotation
(normally for loosening fasteners and
bits), all the way to the left will be
clockwise (normally for tightening fas-
teners and drilling holes). When the
switch is in the center position it locks
the switch to avoid accidentally start-
ing the drill.
2. Set the Torque Setting Ring located
just behind the chuck. This ring has

numbers from 1 to 5 on it, and a point-
er indicator embossed on the drill
case. Set on 1 for very light applica-
tions such as driving screws into dry-
wall. Use the higher settings up to 5
for denser woods and materials. Use
the drill bit symbol when boring holes.
Using the proper torque setting will
ensure that the fastener is not driven
too deeply damaging the surface
material, or in the worst case,
stripped out of the hole due to over-
torquing.
3. Pull the trigger to activate the drill.
This drill is variable speed from 0 -
600 RPM, therefore the more you pull
on the trigger, the faster the motor
and chuck will rotate.
