•For drilling in steel and for screwdriving applications, turn the two-gear selector (4) into position 1 by aligning the number with the mark on the housing (20) (1st gear). Also when using larger diameter bits in wood turn the two gear selector into position 1.

•For drilling in materials other than steel and when using smaller diameter bits, turn the two-gear selector (4) into position 2 by aligning the number with mark on the housing (20) (2nd gear).

Setting the drilling depth (DR650)
