For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the control switch from the left side of the tool. Check direction of rotation
before use.
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the center position. The trigger will not work while the control switch is in the
center locked position. Always lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before performing maintenance, changing
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
WARNING to reduce the risk of injury, always hold or brace securely.
Selecting Speed (Two Speed model only)
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing. Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before changing speeds. See
"Applications" for recommended speeds under various conditions.
1. For Low speed, push the speed selector to display "1".
2. For High speed, push the speed selector to display "2".
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handles firmly and pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is pulled.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure the bit comes to a complete stop before laying the tool down.
Drilling
Place the bit on the work surface and apply firm pressure before starting. Too much pressure will slow the bit and reduce
drilling efficiency. Too little pressure will cause the bit to slide over the work area and dull the point of the bit.
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure slightly to allow the bit to regain speed. If the bit binds, reverse the motor to free the
bit from the work piece
APPLICATIONS
WARNING to reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before drilling or driving screws.
Drill ng in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic When drilling in wood, composition materials and plastic, select the
drill-only operating mode. Start the drill slowly, radially increasing speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood
augers or twist drill bits. Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips
from the bit flutes. To reduce the chance of splintering, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics
with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the drill-only operating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws. Use a center punch
to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant when drilling in nonferrous
metals such as copper, brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent binding and distortion on breakthrough.
