Operation—Power Tool (cont'd)
Forward/Reverse Switch Operation
• If the bit becomes jammed, immediately release
the trigger to prevent an overload which can
damage the battery pack or motor. Use reverse
motion to loosen jammed bits.
• To prevent damage, do not operate Forward/
Reverse switch until the bit comes to a complete
stop.
• Do NOT operate the Forward/Reverse switch
when the trigger switch is on. The battery will dis-
charge rapidly and damage to the unit may occur.

settings for driving fasteners or the drill setting
hole-making operations.
LHD-216: Adjust the torque to one of the 18 clutch
settings for driving fasteners, or the drill setting
hammer setting
Note: Always stop operating the tool and disengage
it from the work before rotating the clutch handle to
switch between the drill and hammer settings.
The lower clutch settings deliver less torque than the
higher clutch settings. During operation a ratcheting
sound may be heard; release the trigger. This sound
indicates that the clutch is slipping because the driving
operation has overcome the available torque for the
engaged clutch setting.
For operations that require higher torque, use the low
speed setting.
