OPERATION

TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 2, page 12.

To install the battery pack:

Lock the switch trigger on the drill by placing the direction of rotation (forward/reverse/center lock) selector in center position.

Align raised rib on battery pack with the groove inside the tool.

Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack snap in place and battery pack is secured before beginning operation.

To remove the battery pack:

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position.

Depress the latches on the sides of the battery pack. The battery pack will disconnect in the direction to be removed.

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked when not in use or carrying at your side.

SWITCH TRIGGER

See Figure 3, page 12.

To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.

VARIABLE SPEED

The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.

Note:  You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal part of the switch function.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK) See Figure 3, page 12.

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.

Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use.

CAUTION:

To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.

To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop.

NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.

Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.

KEYLESS CHUCK

See Figure 4, page 12.

The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.

WARNING:

Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.

Two-SPEED gear train

See Figure 5, page 13.

The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top 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.

NOTE: If you have difficulty changing from one gear range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.

CAUTION:

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