to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The higher the number, the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Unless you are drilling, always start with a lower number to help prevent damage. This drill also has torque settings between the numbers to allow a greater range of control.
Drill Setting (
):
This setting essentially prevents the clutch from slipping entirely. It is designed for drilling, but is not advised for using the screwdriver because it offers no protection against stripping the head or splitting the wood.
4.Set the drilling torque by turning the Torque Setting Ring (15) to align the torque indicator arrow with the desired setting. (See Figure E., previous page.)
5.When drilling in light gauge metal or wood, use a wooden block to back up the material to prevent damage to the workpiece.
6.Mark the center of the hole to be drilled with a center punch (not included) to give a Drill Bit a start and to prevent it from “walking”.
7.Lubricate the Drill Bit with cutting oil (not included) when drilling iron or steel. Use a coolant (not included) when drilling nonferrous metals such as copper, brass, or aluminum.
8.Attach the Accessory Grip (14) to the drill by sliding the metal loop over the front of the drill and fastening it securely behind the Torque Setting. Turn the handle of Accessory Grip handle counterclockwise until it holds firmly. The Accessory Grip allows greater control over the Drill and makes it easier to resist being pulled out of alignment by torque.
9.Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (28) into the Handle of the Cordless Drill.
10.The Rotation Button (9) allows you to change the rotational direction of the Cordless Drill. For a clockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the right. For a counter- clockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the left. The center position locks the Trigger (10), helping to prevent the Drill from operating. The Forward/Reverse Indicator (21) lights up, when the Trigger is depressed, to show which direction the Drill is set.
11.Make sure to hold the Cordless Drill firmly with both hands, as torque from the Mo- tor can cause the tool to twist.
12.Operate the Drill, by squeezing the Trigger (10). The speed of the Drill can be con- trolled by varying the pressure on the Trigger.
13.If Drilling:
Use the Drill torque setting, as described above.
