ADJUSTING TORQUE COLLAR

The clutch unit provides twenty clutch settings plus a “Drill” (solid-lockup) setting. Lowest torque is avaible at setting #1, with maximum torque available at the “Drill” setting. The amount of output torque may be adjusted by rotating the front collar (A) Fig. 3, so that the desired torque setting is aligned with the index mark (B) Fig. 3. In general, lower torque settings are used for driving small screws and other delicate work, while higher torque settings are used for driving larger screws. The “Drill” position is used for drilling and for driving very large screws.

TWO-SPEED GEAR SHIFT

The Model 884 Cordless Driver/Drill has a two-speed gear shift which provides spindle speed ranges of approximately: 0 to 450 RPM (LOW) and 0 to 1450 RPM (HIGH). To change speed ranges: release trigger switch to stop motor and then slide speed selector (A) Fig. 4, toward rear for HIGH speed or toward front for LOW speed.

The low speed position is normally used when drilling larger holes and when driving or removing screws. The high speed position is normally used for drilling small holes.
