TORQUE SETTINGS

To prevent damaging the tool or driving screw too deep into work piece, release the trigger when you feel the clutch slip.

SCREWDRIVING

WHEN DRIVING FASTENERS:

• Always start slowly and gradually increase the speed of the Drill.

• Release the trigger when you feel the clutch slip.

THE CONTROL RING ADJUSTS THE LEVEL OF TORQUE:

• For light duty work, use lower settings.

• For heavy duty work, use higher settings.

PROPER SETTING FOR DRIVING SCREWS: 1. Set the ring on the lowest

setting to begin.

2.Try tightening the first screw. If the drill drives smoothly,

proceed with the next screw.

3. If the Drill’s clutch slips, increase the torque setting

and try again until the Drill drives the screw without incident.

CONTROL RING

• Always keep the driver bit straight to prevent damage to the screw.

• Hold the Drill with both hands to ensure control if the bit should stick or slip.

• To prevent wood from splitting, drill pilot holes into the wood before driving

in the screws.

DRILLING METAL

WHEN DRILLING HARD METALS:

•Apply a lubricant, such as cutting oil, to the tip of the bit.

•Start with a small hole then enlarge to the required size. Make sure the bit is actually cutting and not spinning in the hole as this will dull the edges of the bit.

•Keep enough pressure on the bit to keep it drilling through the material.

DRILLING MASONRY

HIGH / LOW SPEED (GEAR) SHIFTING
FOR LOW SPEED SETTING:	LOW SPEED	HIGH SPEED

• Slide the switch on top of the Drill to Position 1 for high torque applications and driv- ing screws.

FOR HIGH SPEED SETTING:

• Slide the switch to Position 2 for light duty projects.

WHEN DRILLING MASONRY:

•Masonry can be brittle so be careful not to apply too much pressure and crack the material.

•Apply enough pressure to keep the bit cutting and not spinning in the hole as this will dull the edges of the bit.

•Bricks and similar soft materials will require less pressure, concrete will require much more.

DRILLING WOOD

Use twist bits to drill holes in wood. Make sure the bits are sharp. Pull the bits out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the flutes as an overburdened bit may overheat.

HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE

DRILLING:

•Keep the right amount of pressure in a straight line with the drill bit. Too little and the bit will spin without cutting, too much and the motor may stall.
