the tool will operate. Use lower speeds for starting holes without a cen- terpunch, drilling in metals or plastics, driving screws and drilling ceramics, or in any application requiring high torque. Higher speeds are better for drilling in wood, wood compositions and for using abra- sive and polishing accessories. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig. 2)
A forward/reverse control button (A) determines the direction the tool will spin and also serves as a lock off button. To select forward rota- tion, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse con- trol button on the right side of the tool.To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool. The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released. NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direc- tion of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. 3)
Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes and in some models, a hammer mechanism for drilling into masonry. Circling the collar (A) are numbers, a drill bit symbol, and in some models, and a hammer symbol. These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver

a torque range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow.
Three Speed Gearing (Fig. 3)
The three speed feature of your tool allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select speed 1 (highest torque setting), turn the tool off and permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter (B) all the way to the left. Speed 2 (middle torque and speed setting) is in the middle position. Speed 3 (highest speed setting) is to the right. NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing gears. If you have trouble changing gears, make sure that the gear shifter is engaged in one of the three speed settings.
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (Fig. 4)
Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating sleeve for one- handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps.
1.Lock the trigger in the OFF position as described on page 6.
2.Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool as shown in Figure 4. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired accessory.
