Adjustable Torque Clutch, Adjusting Torque, Drilling

OPERATION

KEYLESS CHUCK

See Figure 4, page 11.

The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.

WARNING:

Do not hold the chuck with one hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.

TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HI-LO)

See Figure 5, page 11.

The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top of the drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and unit will have less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for high power and torque applications and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.

ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH

This product is equipped with an adjustable torque clutch for driving different types of screws into different materials. The proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using.

ADJUSTING TORQUE

See Figure 6, page 11.

There are twenty-four torque indicator settings located on the front of the drill.

Rotate the adjusting ring to the desired setting.

•1 - 4 For driving small screws

•5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material

•9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard materials

•13 - 16 For driving screws into hard wood

•17 - 20 For driving large screws

•21- For heavy drilling

INSTALLING BITS

See Figures 7 - 8, page 12.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position.

Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.

Insert the drill bit.

WARNING:

Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle then tighten, as shown in figure 9. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.

Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.

NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

REMOVING BITS

See Figure 7, page 12.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position.

Open the chuck jaws.

NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked UNLOCK to open the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

Remove the drill bit.

DRILLING

See Figure 9, page 12.

A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help keep the drill bit level during use.

Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct setting (forward or reverse).

Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.

Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.

Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.

Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
