SPEED SELECTOR

See Figure 7.

The speed of the drill can be changed by turning the speed selector to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.

This drill features three speed settings for various applications:

nLOW (1) Speed (300/min.)

nMEDIUM (2) Speed (600/min.)

nHIGH (3) Speed (1200/min.)

CAUTION:

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

CLUTCH

This drill features a clutch that limits the amount of torque transferred to the user. With an excessive load, the clutch will slip and make a ratcheting sound. The clutch disengages the bit from the gear train to reduce the chance of damage to the tool or of causing the user to lose control.

NOTE: Do not continuously operate the tool when the clutch is slipping. Doing so will shorten the life of the tool.
