Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig.A)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch
1
. 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

Belt Hook (Optional Accessory) (Fig.A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments oraccessories.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, DO NOT suspend tool overhead or suspend
objects from the belt hook. ONLY hang tool’s belt hook
from a workbelt.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ensure the screw holding the belt hook issecure.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage, DO NOT use the belt hook to hang the drill
while using as aspotlight.
IMPORTANT: When attaching or replacing the belt hook, use
only the screw
11
that is provided. Be sure to securely tighten
thescrew.
The belt hook
10
can be be attached to either side of the tool
using only the screw
11
provided, to accommodate left- or
right- handed users. If the hook is not desired at all, it can be
removed from thetool.
To move belt hook, remove the screw
11
that holds it in place
then reassemble on the opposite side. Be sure to securely
tighten thescrew.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button (Fig.A)
A forward/reverse control button
2
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 for ward/re verse control button on the right side of
thetool.
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and 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 (Fig.A)
There is a worklight
8
located under the torque adjustment
collar
3
. 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 (Fig.A,C)
The torque adjustment collar
3
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/hammerdrill for drilling holes,
be sure that the torque adjustment 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 (Fig.A,C)
The dual range feature of your driver/drill/hammerdrill 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
4
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.
