OPERATION

OPERATING NOTES

Practice at slow engine and travel speeds with the PTO off until fully familiar with the controls.

For normal cutting the throttle should be set at the full open position. By using the traction levers to speed up or slow down the machine during use, maximum control and cutting efficiency can be maintained.

Using the machine at less than full throttle in

heavy conditions will cause the engine to labor and result in excessive wear.

DRIVING

,With the PTO disengaged, move the parking brake to OFF.

2.Move both traction levers out of neutral lock.

3.Push both traction levers forward evenly to drive forward in a straight line. Pull both traction levers back evenly to drive backward in a straight line.

4.Steering - Move one lever forward and one back. Turns during forward movement:

Right turn - move the right traction lever back toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel,

Left turn - move the left traction lever back to- ward neutral to slow the left drive wheel,

Turns during reverse movement:

Reverse right turn - move the right traction lever forward toward neutral to slow the right drive wheel.

Reverse left turn - move the left traction lever forward toward neutral to slow the left drive wheel.

Use caution when making turns. Slow down before making sharp turns to help maintain control and to prevent torn turf from skidding or spinning tires. To help prevent turf damage, keep both drive tires mov- ing whenever a turn is made.

TIP: The best way to make a sharp "zero" turn is to come to a stop, get the machine moving in reverse with both drive wheels and then power the machine around with the outside wheel. This technique keeps the drive tires turning and results in less turf damage.

127.28876, 127.28877 specifications

The Craftsman 127.28877 and 127.28876 are a pair of high-performance cordless drills designed for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts. These models exemplify the blend of power, versatility, and user-friendly design that Craftsman tools are known for.

One of the standout features of both models is their brushless motor technology. This innovation enhances efficiency, delivering more power and runtime than traditional brushed motors. It also reduces heat generation, leading to prolonged tool life. With a high-torque output, these drills can easily handle demanding applications, making them ideal for tasks such as drilling into wood, metal, and masonry.

Both models come equipped with a two-speed transmission. This feature allows users to select the optimal speed based on the specific task at hand—whether it’s high-speed drilling for smaller holes or low-speed drilling for driving larger fasteners. The variable speed trigger further provides enhanced control, enabling a precise and seamless drilling experience.

The design of the Craftsman 127.28877 and 127.28876 is ergonomic, featuring a soft-grip handle that minimizes hand fatigue during extended use. The compact and lightweight structure allows for easy maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for various job sites.

Another notable characteristic is the LED work light integrated into the drills, providing illumination in dimly lit areas. This feature ensures that users can work effectively without needing to reposition other lighting sources.

Battery compatibility is another key advantage of these models. Both drills utilize the Craftsman 20V MAX battery platform, allowing users to interchange batteries between different tools within the same line. This feature not only enhances convenience but also maximizes productivity by reducing downtime due to battery changes.

Finally, the construction of the Craftsman drills includes rugged materials that resist wear and tear, assuring durability over years of use. With a combination of advanced technology, user-centered design, and robust performance, the Craftsman 127.28877 and 127.28876 are invaluable additions to any tool collection, providing reliability and efficiency for a range of projects.
