(Original instructions)
f To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
and depress the forward/reverse control button on the right
side of the tool.
f To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control
button on the left side of the tool.
f 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.
Adjusting torque control (Fig. E)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3)
to select the operating mode and to set the torque for
tightening screws. Large screws and hard workpiece
materials require a higher torque setting than small screws
and soft workpiece materials.
f For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
the drilling position symbol .
f For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting.
If you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
f Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
f Tighten the first screw.
f If the clutch ratchets before the desired result
is achieved, increase the collar setting and continue
tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct
setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.
Dual range switch (Fig. F)
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears
for greater versatility.
f To select low speed, high torque setting (position 1),
turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button (4)
away from the chuck.
f To select the high speed, low torque setting (position
2), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter button
back toward the chuck.
Note: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are
having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual
range gear button is either completely pushed forward or
completely pushed back.
Keyless chuck (Fig. G)
Warning! Make certain the battery pack is removed
to prevent tool actuation before installing or removing
accessories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the chuck (5) and rotate it in the counterclockwise
direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck,
and tighten securely by rotating the chuck in the clockwise
direction as viewed from the chuck end.
@
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten or loosen
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 occur when changing acces-
sories.
Screw driving
f For driving fasteners, the forward/reverse button should
be pushed to the left.
f Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing
fasteners.
Note: When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa,
always release the trigger switch first.
Drilling
f Use sharp drill bits only.
f Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
f Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the SafetyInstructions.
f Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
SafetyInstructions.
f Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out
of it.
f Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.
f Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the battery
area or the auxillary handle if provided.
f Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill off and on in
anattempt to start it. Damage to the drill can result.
f Minimize stalling on break through by reducing ressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
f Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
f Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
