before making any adjustments or 
removing/installing attachments or 
accessories.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 1, 8)
   WARNING: To reduce the risk of 
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use 
proper hand position as shown. 
 
 WARNING: To reduce the risk of 
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold 
securely in anticipation of a sudden 
reaction. 
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main 
handle (i). 
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (fi g. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a). To 
turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool 
is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop when 
the trigger switch is fully released. 
The variable speed switch enables you to select the 
best speed for a particular application. The further 
you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will 
operate. For maximum tool life, use variable speed 
only for starting holes or fasteners 
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is 
not recommended. It may damage the switch and 
should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button 
(fi g. 1)
A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the 
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off 
button. 
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch 
and depress the forward/reverse control button on 
the right side of the tool. 
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse 
control button on the left side of the tool. The center 
position of the control button locks the tool in the off 
position. When changing the position of the control 
button, be sure the trigger is released. 
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the 
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. 
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight (fi g. 1)
There is a worklight (h) located under the torque 
adjustment collar (c). The worklight will be activated 
when the trigger switch is squeezed. 
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate 
work surface and is not intended to be used as a 
flashlight. 
Torque Adjustment Collar (fi g. 1)
The torque adjustment collar (c) 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 bit position.
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 to drill.
Dual Range Gearing (fi g. 1, 4)
The dual range feature of your driver/drill allows you to 
shift gears for greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn the 
tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear shifter (d) 
forward (towards the chuck). To select the high speed, 
low torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop. 
Slide the gear shifter back (away from chuck).
NOTE: 
Do not change gears when the tool is running. 
If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure 
that the dual range gear shifter is either completely 
pushed forward or completely pushed back. 
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (fi g. 5)
Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating 
sleeve for one-handed operation of the chuck. To 
insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps.
  1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as previously 
described.
  2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one 
hand and use the other hand to secure the 
tool. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise far 
enough to accept the desired accessory.
  3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm (3/4") into the 
chuck and tighten securely by rotating the chuck 
sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the 
tool with the other. Your tool is equipped with an 
automatic spindle lock mechanism. This allows 
you to open and close the chuck with one hand.
To release the accessory, repeat step 2 above.
   WARNING: 
Do not attempt to tighten 
drill bits (or any other accessory) by 
gripping the front part of the chuck and 
turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck 
and personal injury may result. Always 
lock off trigger switch when changing 
acces sories.
