 ♦ Tighten the first screw.
 ♦ 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.
Note: When using the Hammer drill for drilling holes, be 
sure that the function 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 switch (Fig. F)
 ♦ The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift 
gears for greater versatility.
 ♦ 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.
 ♦ 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 accessories. 
Screw driving
 ♦ For driving fasteners, the forward/reverse button should 
be pushed to the left.
 ♦ 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
 ♦ Use sharp drill bits only.
 ♦ Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the 
Safety Instructions.
 ♦ Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as 
instructed in the SafetyInstructions.
 ♦ Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the 
SafetyInstructions.
 ♦ Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the 
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping 
out of it.
 ♦ 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.
 ♦ 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.
 ♦ Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill off and on 
in anattempt to start it. Damage to the drill can  
result.
 ♦ Minimize stalling on break through by reducing ressure 
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
 ♦ Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a 
drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
 ♦ Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in Masonry (Fig. E)
1.  Turn the collar (3) to the hammer drill symbol.
2.  Select the high speed setting by sliding the selector 
forward (towards the chuck). Important: Use carbide 
tipped or masonry bits only.
3.  Drill with just enough force on the hammer to keep 
it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. 
Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds, 
overheating and lower drilling rate.
4.  Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the 
work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when 
drilling as this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a 
slower drilling. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer 
speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the 
hole with tool still running to help clear debris from the 
hole.
Note: A smooth, even flow of dust from the hole indicates 
proper drilling rate speed.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits 
used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be 
sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to 
clear chips from the flutes.
