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.

 

 

 

 

 

LED WORK LIGHT

 

 

 

 

 

When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the integrated LED work light (9)

will automatically illuminate the work area. NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the

immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

ADJUSTING TORQUE CONTROL - FIGURE F

This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment

F

collar (3) to select the operating mode and to

 

 

 

 

 

set the torque for tightening screws. Large

 

 

 

 

 

screws and hard workpiece materials require

 

 

 

 

 

a higher torque setting than small screws

 

 

 

 

 

and soft workpiece materials.

 

 

 

 

 

• For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set

 

 

 

 

 

 

the collar to the drilling position symbol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• For screwdriving, set the collar to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

desired setting. If you do not yet know the

 

 

 

 

 

 

appropriate setting, proceed as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

• Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.

3

 

 

• Tighten the first screw.

 

 

 

 

 

• If the clutch ratchets before the desired

 

 

 

 

 

 

result is achieved, increase the collar

 

 

 

 

 

 

setting and continue tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting.

 

Use this setting for the remaining screws.

 

 

 

 

 

DUAL RANGE GEARING - FIGURE G

G

The dual range feature of your drill allows you

 

 

 

 

 

to shift gears for greater versatility.

 

 

 

 

 

•

To select low speed, high torque setting

4

 

 

(position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop.

 

 

 

 

 

• Slide gear shifter button (4) away from the chuck.

• To select the high speed, low torque setting (position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop.

• Slide gear shifter button back (towards the chuck).

NOTE: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range gear

button is either completely pushed forward or completely pushed back.
