OPERATION
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page 9.
Lock the switch trigger.
Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's
manuals for your battery pack and charger.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 3 - 4, pages 9 - 10.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body to tighten or release the drill bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
To install bits, lock the switch trigger.
Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly
larger than the bit size you intend to use.
Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the
chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck
jaws at an angle, then tighten. This could cause
the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in
possible serious personal injury or damage to the
chuck.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use
the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on
the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand,
or your hand could slip and come in contact with
the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury.
To remove bits, lock the switch trigger and open the
chuck jaws.
The bit provided with the drill can be placed in the storage
area, located on the rear base of the drill.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HI-LO SWITCH)
See Figure 5, page 10.
Select LO (1) speed for applications requiring higher
power and torque.
Select HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.
NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 6, page 10.
Rotate the adjustment ring to the proper torque setting for
the type of material and size of screw you are using.
• 1 - 4
For driving small screws
• 5 - 8
For driving screws into soft material
• 9 - 12
For driving screws into soft and hard
materials
• 13 - 16
For driving screws into hard wood
• 17 - 23
For driving large screws
•
For heavy drilling
DRILLING/DRIVING SCREWS
See Figure 7, page 10.
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
Use LO (1) speed for high torque applications and
HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications. Refer
to Two-Speed Gear Train and Adjusting Torque.
Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the bit rotates.
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled, or where the screw is to be driven.
WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be
hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and possibly shock the operator. If you must
drive a screw where hidden wire may be present,
always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
(handle) when performing the operation to prevent
a shock to the operator.
Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
