OPERATION
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3, page 13.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger
for forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when
the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position will lock the switch trigger to help reduce the
possibility of accidental starting when not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4, page 13.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which
direction to rotate the chuck body in order to gRIP (tighten)
or OPEN (release) the drill bit.
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.
AutoShift SELECTOR
™
See Figure 5, page 13.
The mode selector switch on top of the drill has two settings:
HIgH and AutoShift .
™
When AutoShift is selected, the drill starts in high speed
™
when the trigger is pulled. The blue LED arrow indicates that
the drill is in HIgH speed.
During drilling, if the load increases so that more torque is
required, the drill automatically shifts from high speed to
low speed.
The amber LED arrow indicates that more torque is required
and the drill has AutoShifted into low speed.
When HIgH is selected, the drill will stay in high speed and
will not automatically shift to a lower speed. The variable
speed switch trigger should be used to control speed.
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
This product is equipped with an adjustable torque clutch
for driving different types of screws into different materials.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.
ADJUSTINg TORQUE
See Figure 6, page 13.
There are twenty-four torque indicator settings located on
the front of the drill.
 Rotate the adjusting ring to the desired setting.
• 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 - 24 For driving large screws
• For heavy drilling
INSTALLINg BITS
See Figure 4, page 13.
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
 Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening
is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also,
raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling
out of the chuck jaws.
 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, as shown in figure 7,
page 13. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown
from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal
injury or damage to the chuck.
 Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked gRIP to close the chuck jaws. Do not use
a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
REMOVINg BITS
See Figure 7, page 13.
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
 Open the chuck jaws.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked OPEN to open the chuck jaws. Do not use
a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
 Remove the drill bit.
