2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired
depth in theworkpiece.
Recommendations for Screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
orfastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selectioncollar.
Drilling
1. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to the drillsymbol.
Refer to ModeSelection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with theworkpiece.
NOTE: Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill
bits, spade bits, auger bits, self-feed bits, or hole saws. For
METAL, use twist drill bits, step bits, carbide hole cutters
or hole saws. Drill bits should be optimized for METAL
cutting with appropriate coatings and cutting edges.
3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until it reaches the desireddepth.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
“back‑up” block to prevent damage to thematerial.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect thebit.
5. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of thedrill.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being
overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine
cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN
AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN
DAMAGE THEDRILL.
7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of thehole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of
a drilled hole. This will help preventjamming.
Drilling in Metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power
while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow
of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting
lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron
and brass which should be drilleddry.
NOTE: Large holes (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 13mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm to
5mm]) is drilledfirst.
NOTE: When using a cutting lubricant, be sure not to get the
lubricant on thetool.
Drilling in Wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power
while applying firm pressure on the tool. If nails are
likely to be encountered, appropriate drill bits capable of

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clampedfirmly.

WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the direction
ofrotation.
Prior to Performing Work
• Set the speed selector
8
. Refer to SpeedSelection.
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the
chuck. Refer to Installing a Bit or Accessory into a
KeylessChuck.

WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily
combustible or explosive fluids (benzine,
alcohol,etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids
labeledaccordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–11 on the mode selection collar
5
are used to
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can bedriven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
5
to the desiredposition.
Refer to Mode Selection.
Pivoting LED Worklight (Fig. G, L)
The pivoting LED worklight
9
capsule is physically adjustable
via three detent positions. The pivoting LED worklight
9
and
the worklight button
10
are located on the foot of the tool.
The worklight is activated when the trigger is depressed. The
Off
19
, On
20
and 20minute modes
21
can be changed
by pressing the worklight button
10
on the foot of the tool.
If the trigger switch remains depressed, the worklight will
remain on in On and 20minutemodes.
When in the On setting, the beam will automatically turn off
20seconds after the trigger switch isreleased.
20 Minute Mode
The high setting is the 20minute mode
21
. The worklight
will run for 20minutes after the trigger switch is released.
Two minutes before the worklight will shut off, it will flash
twice and then dim. To avoid the worklight shutting off,
lightly tap the triggerswitch.

WARNING: While using the worklight in On or
20minute mode, do not stare at the light or place
the drill in a position which may cause anyone to
stare into the light. Serious eye injury couldresult.

CAUTION: When using the tool as a worklight, be sure
it is secured on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or fallinghazard.

CAUTION: Remove all accessories from the chuck
before using the drill as a worklight. Personal injury or
property damage couldresult.
