ENGLISH
To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left side of thetool.
The centre 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.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig.A)
Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for
driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes
and in some models, a hammer mechanism for drilling into
masonry. Circling the torque adjustment collar
3
are numbers,
a drill bit symbol, and on some models, a hammer symbol.
These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque
range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the
torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select
any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with
thearrow.
Dual Range Gearing (Fig.A)
The dual range feature of your drill/driver/hammerdrill allows
you to shift gears for greaterversatility.
1. To select speed 1(high torque setting), turn the tool off and
permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter
4
forward (towards
thechuck).
2. To select speed 2(low torque setting), turn the tool off and
permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter back (away from
thechuck).
NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always
allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing
gears. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that
the dual range gear shifter is either completely pushed forward
or completely pushedback.
Worklight (Fig.A)
There is a worklight
5
located just above the trigger switch
1
.
The worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated
for up to 20seconds.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
Screwdriver Operation (Fig.D)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the dual
range gear selector to match the speed and torque of the
plannedoperation.
2. Turn the torque adjustment collar
3
to the desired position.
Lower numbers indicate lower torque settings; higher
numbers indicate higher torquesettings.
3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you
would any drillbit.
4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas to
determine the proper position of the clutchcollar.
5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance to
higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
orfastener.

installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can causeinjury.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and
use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve
anticlockwise (as viewed from the front) far enough to
accept the desiredaccessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 19mm into the chuck and
tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise
with one hand while holding the tool with the other hand.
Continue to rotate the chuck sleeve until several ratchet
clicks are heard to ensure full grippingpower.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on
the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for
maximumtightness.
To release the accessory, repeat steps 1and 2above.
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (Fig.A, G–I)

and personal injury may result. Always lock off trigger
switch and remove the battery from the tool when
changingacces sories.

WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting
the tool. A loose bit may eject from tool, causing possible
personalinjury.
Your tool features a keyless chuck
6

clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
“back‑up” block to prevent damage to thematerial.
1. Turn the torque adjustment collar
3
to the drillsymbol.
2. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
gear shifter
