RIDGID R5011 manual TWO-SPEED Gear Shift Knob, To Install Bits, To Remove Bits, Right Wrong

OPERATION

TWO-SPEED GEAR SHIFT KNOB

See Figure 6.

The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A switch is located on the side of the drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and unit will have less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for high power and torque applications and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.

CAUTION:

Never change gears while the tool is running. Failure to obey this caution could result in serious damage to the drill.

TO INSTALL BITS

See Figures 7 - 8.

Unplug the drill.

Insert the chuck key and twist counterclockwise.

Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.

WARNING:

Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle then tighten, as shown in figure 8. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.

Insert the drill bit.

Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the drill bit, using the chuck key provided.

Remove the chuck key.

TO REMOVE BITS

See Figure 7.

Unplug the drill.

Loosen the chuck jaws using the chuck key provided.

Remove the drill bit.

Remove the chuck key.

USING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY

See Figure 9.

An auxiliary handle assembly is packed with the drill for ease of operation and to help prevent loss of control. The handle can be rotated 360°, and it can also be mounted on the opposite side for left hand use.
