Two-Speed Gearbox Switch
(Fig. 5)
Your tool is equipped with a two-speed gearbox
designed for drilling or driving at low or high
speeds. The slide switch is located on the top
of the tool to select either low
(marked "1") or high (marked "2") speed.
The low speed (1) provides higher torque and
slower drilling speeds for heavy-duty work or
for driving screws, drilling large diameters, or
tapping threads. Use the low speed for starting
holes without a center punch, drilling metals
or plastic, drilling ceramics, or in applications
requiring a higher torque.
The high speed (2) provides lower torque and
faster speeds for lighter drilling work. The high
speed is better for drilling wood and wood composites.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the drill driver to come to a complete stop
before changing between low speed (1) and high speed (2).
Torque-Adjustment Ring (Fig. 6)
Your tool features 17 driving settings and 1
drilling setting. Output torque will increase as
the clutch ring is rotated from 1 to 17.
CAUTION
Adjust the torque by rotating the torque-
adjustment ring. The higher the torque setting,
the more force the drill/driver produces to turn
an object.
The proper setting depends on the job and the
type of bit, fastener, and material you will be
using. In general, use greater torque for larger
screws. If the torque is too high, the screws
may be damaged or broken.
Select the drill mode
heavy-duty applications.
Do not adjust the torque
while the tool is running .
