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.
