Performing an Application (Fig.A)
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
4
. 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 1–15 on the mode selection collar
3
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
3
to the desiredposition.
Refer to Mode Selection.
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
3
to the drillsymbol.
Refer to ModeSelection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with theworkpiece.
NOTE: Use sharp drill bitonly.
3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until it reaches the desireddepth.
Low Battery Warning
When in spotlight mode and the battery is nearing complete
discharge, the spotlight will flash twice and then dim. After
two minutes, the battery will be completely discharged and
the drill will immediately shut down. At this point, replace
with a freshbattery.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always have a
back-up battery or secondary lighting available if the
situation warrantsit.
Spotlight Mode
The high setting is the spotlight mode
17
. The spotlight will
run for 20minutes after the trigger switch is released. Two
minutes before the spotlight will shut off, it will flash twice
and then dim. To avoid the spotlight shutting off, lightly tap
the triggerswitch.
WARNING: While using the worklight in medium
or spotlight 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 spotlight, 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 spotlight. Personal injury or
property damage couldresult.
Worklight (Fig.A, G)
The worklight
5
and its switch
12
are located on the foot
of the tool. The worklight is activated when the trigger
is depressed. The low
15
, medium
16
and spotlight
modes
17
can be changed by moving the switch on the
foot of the tool. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the
worklight will remain on in allmodes.
When on low and medium settings, the beam will
automatically turn off 20seconds after the trigger switch
isreleased.
Variable Speed Trigger and Forward/
Reverse Control Button (Fig.A)
The tool is turned on and off by pulling and releasing the
variable speed trigger
1
. The farther the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the tool. Your tool is equipped with
a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is
fullyreleased.
A forward/reverse control button
2
determines the
rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a
lock-offbutton.
To select forward rotation (clockwise), release the trigger
and depress the forward/reverse control button on the
right side of thetool.
To select reverse (counterclockwise), depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left side of
thetool.
NOTE: 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: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
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.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle
14
and the other hand holding the battery pack
11
.
