Torque Settings:

Use one of the 23 settings (1-23) for screwdriver usage.

Use the Drill Bit setting for use with drill bits.

The different sizes of screws pictured on the Ring are an indication of how much torque the Cordless Drill/Driver will apply to the bit before the clutch slips, allowing the bit to stop and helping to prevent damage to the screw, bit, or workpiece. The larger the screw, the more torque is applied before the clutch slips. Unless when drilling, always start with a lower number to help prevent damage. This Cordless Drill/Driver also has torque settings between the screws 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 a screwdriver bit because it offers no protection against stripping the head or splitting the wood.

5.To use the screwdriver function, insert the Bit Adapter (22) into the Chuck (1) as detailed in Step 1. Insert the required screwdriver bit into the Bit Adapter (22).

6.Set the drilling torque by turning the Gear Box with Torque Ring (2) so that it lines up with the Arrow on the center top of the Cordless Drill/Driver.

7.When driving screws, start with a lower torque setting.

8.When drilling in light gauge metal or wood, use a wooden block to back up the material and prevent damage to the workpiece.

9.Mark the center of the hole to be drilled with a center punch (not included) to give a Drill Bit a starting point and to prevent it from “walking”.

10.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.

11.Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (19) into the Handle of the Cordless Drill/ Driver.

12.The Rotation Button (6) allows you to change the rotational direction of the Cord- less Drill/Driver. For a clockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the right. For a counterclockwise rotation, move the Rotation Button to the left. The center position locks the Trigger (12), to prevent the Drill from operating.

Caution: Never attempt to change rotational direction while the chuck is rotating.

13.Hold the Cordless Drill/Driver firmly with both hands, as torque from the Motor can cause the tool to twist.
