Operating Instructions

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED

TRIGGER SWITCH

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).

FORWARD/REVERSING

LEVER & TRIGGER LOCK

!WARNING After tool use, lock trigger in “OFF” position to help prevent

accidental starts and accidental discharge.

Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position.

FORWARD/REVERSE INDICATOR LIGHTS

Your tool is equipped with lights which indicate the rotation of the bit.

For forward rotation, (with bit pointed away from you) move the lever to the far left and a green indicator light depicting a forward arrow will light up.

For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right and the green indicator light depicting a reverse arrow will light up.

To stop in either direction just release the trigger. To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position (Fig. 1).

ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH

Your tool features 8 clutch settings. Output torque will increase as the clutch ring, is

rotated from 1 to 7. The drill “ ” position will lock up the clutch to permit drilling and driving heavy duty work, and also enables bits to be changed quickly and easily in the keyless chuck (Fig. 1).

BRAKE

When the trigger switch is released it activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is especially useful in the repetitive driving and removal of screws.

GEAR SHIFTING

Your tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges, Hi-torque and High-speed. Hi-torque provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds for heavy duty work or for driving screws. High-speed provides faster speeds for drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide switch, to the Hi-torque or High-speed position.

FUEL GAUGE

Your tool is equipped with a fuel gauge that alerts you when the battery capacity is getting low. When the battery capacity reaches 30% or less a red LED illuminates indicating the battery will require charging (Fig. 3).
