Operating Instructions
TRIGGER SWITCH & FORWARD/REVERSE BUTTON - FIGURE E
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling
and releasing the trigger switch (1) shown
in figure E. The farther the trigger is
depressed, the higher the speed of the
drill.
A forward/reverse control button (2)
determines the toolʼs direction and also
serves as a lock off button.
To select forward rotation, release the
trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button on the right
side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left
side of the tool.
The center position of the control button
locks the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the control button, be
sure the trigger is released.
LED WORK LIGHT
When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the integrated LED work light (9)
will automatically illuminate the work area. NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the
immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
ADJUSTING TORQUE CONTROL - FIGURE F
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment
collar (3) to select the operating mode and to
set the torque for tightening screws. Large
screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws
and soft workpiece materials.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set
the collar to the drilling position symbol
For screwdriving, set the collar to the
desired setting. If you do not yet know the
appropriate setting, proceed as follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
Tighten the first screw.
If the clutch ratchets before the desired
result is achieved, increase the collar
setting and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting.
Use this setting for the remaining screws.
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 (4) 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 back (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.
