FORWARD/REVERSE SWITCH
See Figure 6.
The direction of chuck rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a forward/reverse switch located on the handle of the
drill.
NOTE: Do not change the direction of rotation while the drill
is running. Release the switch trigger and allow the drill to
stop before changing direction.
SPEED SELECTOR
See Figure 7.
The speed of the drill can be changed by turning the speed
selector to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.
This drill features three speed settings for various
applications:
n LOW (1) Speed (300/min.)
n MEDIUM (2) Speed (600/min.)
n HIGH (3) Speed (1200/min.)
CAUTION:
Never change gears while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.
CLUTCH
This drill features a clutch that limits the amount of torque
transferred to the user. With an excessive load, the clutch
will slip and make a ratcheting sound. The clutch disengages
the bit from the gear train to reduce the chance of damage
to the tool or of causing the user to lose control.
NOTE: Do not continuously operate the tool when the clutch
is slipping. Doing so will shorten the life of the tool.
