OPERATION

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.

QUICK MODE SELECTOR

See Figures 6 - 7, page 15.

The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch from drill mode to drive mode.

In general, drill mode should be used for drilling and other

heavy duty applications. Drive mode should be used for driving screws. Hammer mode should be used for hammer drilling.

SELECTING DRIVE OR DRILL SETTING

TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

See Figure 8, page 15.

When using the drill-driver for various driving applications, it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque intensity should correspond to the screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged or broken.

The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.

The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.

The proper setting depends on the type of material and the size of screw you are using.

BIT STORAGE

See Figure 9, page 15.

When not in use, bits provided with the drill can be placed in the storage areas located on the base of the drill.

MAG TRAY™

See Figure 10, page 15.

The magnetic tray conveniently stores screws or other small parts.

magnetic bit holder

See Figure 10, page 15.

The magnetic bit holder extends the reach of the bit and holds the bit and screws until you are ready to drive them. Storage for the bit holder is located on the front of the tool’s base.
