ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 11 clutch settings. Output torque will increase as the clutch ring, is
rotated from 1 to 10. The drill “
” position will lock up the clutch to permit drilling and driving heavyduty work, and also enables bits to be changed quickly and easily in the keyless chuck (Fig. 3).
BRAKE
When the trigger switch is released it activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is especially useful in the repetitive driving and removal of screws.
FUEL GAUGE
Your tool is equipped with a fuel gauge that alerts you when the battery capacity is getting low. When the battery capacity reaches 30% or less a red LED illuminates indicating the battery will require charging (Fig. 5).

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with the work before pulling the trigger. During the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and cause excess friction by sliding over the surface. This can be damaging to both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature will eliminate the need for center punches in hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a slow starting speed, you are able to keep the bit from “wandering”. You can increase the speed as the bit “bites” into the work by squeezing the trigger.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
Variable speed drills will double as a power screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the drill mode. The technique is to start slowly, increasing the speed as the screw runs down. Set the screw snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes should be drilled.
