and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
Performing an Application (Fig.A)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clampedfirmly.
WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to
acomplete standstill before changing the direction
ofrotation.
Prior to performing work:
• Set the speed selector
7
. Refer to SpeedSelection.
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck. Refer
to Installing aBit or Accessory into aKeylessChuck.
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
labeledaccordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has aclutch with adjustable torque for driving and
removing awide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The numbers
on the mode selection collar
6
are used to set atorque range
for screwdriving. The higher the number on the collar, the higher
the torque and the larger the fastener which can bedriven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
6
to the desiredposition.
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in astraight line
with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired depth
in theworkpiece.
Recommendations for Screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
orfastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of the
workpiece to determine the proper position of the mode
selectioncollar.
Drilling
1. Turn the mode selection collar
6
to the drillsymbol. Refer
to ModeSelection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with theworkpiece.
NOTE: Use sharp drill bitonly.
3. Pull the trigger applying pressure in astraight line with the
bit until it reaches the desireddepth.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing asudden
twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control
the twisting action and avoidinjury.
4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of
adrilled hole to preventjamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
• When drilling, always apply pressure in astraight line with
the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or
deflect thebit.
• IF THE DRILL STALLS:
RELEASE TRIGGER SWITCH IMMEDIATELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause ofstalling.
- DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER SWITCH ON AND OFF
IN AN ATTEMPT TO START ASTALLED DRILL—THIS
CAN DAMAGE THEDRILL.
- To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of thehole.
• Large holes (7.9 mm to 12.7 mm) in steel can be made
easier if apilot hole (4 mm to 4.8mm) is drilledfirst.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to splinter,
use awood “back-up” block to prevent damage to
theworkpiece.
