G8595 14.4V Cordless Drill -8-
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
fasteners and drilling holes). When
the switch is in the center position it
locks the switch to avoid accidentally
starting the drill.
2. Set the Torque Setting Ring locat-
ed just behind the chuck. This ring

has numbers from 1 to 5 on it, and a
pointer indicator embossed on the
drill case. Set on 1 for very light appli-
cations such as driving screws into
drywall. Use the higher setting 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 -
550 RPM, therefore the more you pull
on the trigger, the faster the motor
and chuck will rotate.
