OPERATION
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, always wear eye protection.
Using Clutch (Fig. 3)
This tool has an adjustable clutch for driving different types of screws into different materials. When properly adjusted, the clutch will slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the screw too deep and to prevent damage to the screw or tool. Refer to the table below to select the correct position for the type of material and screw size you are using.
1.For Low speed (up to 450 RPM), push the speed selector forward.
2.For High speed (up to 1,250 RPM), push the speed selector back.
Starting, Stopping & Controlling Speed
1.To start the tool, pull the trigger.
2.To stop the tool, release the trigger and an electric brake stops the tool instantly.
All models feature variable speed control. To vary the speed, simply increase or decrease pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
To adjust the clutch, turn the clutch adjusting ring to one of the nineteen positions shown on the adjusting ring.

appears at the top center of the collar.
NOTE: When using carbide bits, do not use water to settle dust. Do not attempt to drill through steel reinforcing rods. Both actions will damage the carbide bits.
Using Control Switch (Fig. 5)
The control switch may be set to three positions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mechanism, the control switch can only be ad- justed when the ON/OFF switch is not depressed. Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop before using the control switch.
