. The worklight will be activated when the trigger
switch issqueezed.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. C)
The torque adjustment collar

is clearly marked with
numbers and a drill bit symbol. The collar should be rotated
until the desired setting is located at the top of the tool.
Locators are provided in the collar to eliminate the guess
work when selecting fastening torque. The higher the
number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger
the fastener which can be driven. To lock the clutch for
drilling operations, move to the drill bitposition.
NOTE: When using the drill/driver for drilling holes, be sure
that the torque adjusting collar is set so the figure of the drill
is aligned with the center line on the top of the tool. Failure
to do this will allow the clutch to slip while attempting
todrill.
