OPERATION

CAUTION:

To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.

To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop.

NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.

Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.

KEYLESS CHUCK

See Figure 4.

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 GRIP (tighten) or OPEN (release) the drill bit.

WARNING:

Do not hold the chuck body 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.

AutoShiftSELECTOR

See Figure 5.

The mode selector switch on top of the drill has two settings: HIGH and AutoShift.

When AutoShiftis selected, the drill starts in high speed when the trigger is pulled. The blue LED arrow indicates that the drill is in HIGH speed.

During drilling, if the load increases so that more torque is required, the drill automatically shifts from high speed to low speed.

The amber LED arrow indicates that more torque is required and the drill has AutoShifted into low speed.

When HIGH is selected, the drill will stay in high speed and will not automatically shift to a lower speed. The variable speed switch trigger should be used to control speed.
