OPERATION
VARIABLE SPEED
S6e Figure 4.
Your ddll has avadable speed control selector designed to
allow operator control and adjustment of speed and torque
limits. The speed and torque of your ddl] can be increased or
decreased by rotating the variable speed control selector in
the direction of the arrows shown in figure 4.
NOTE: Hold your dbll in normal operating position and turn
the variable speed control selector clockwise to increase (+)
the speed and torque of your drill. Turn counterclockwise to
decrease (-) the speed and torque of your drill.
If you desire to lock the switch on at a given speed, depress
the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button, and
release the switch tdgger. Next. adjust the variable speed
control selector until the desired speed is roached.
NOTE: IF THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR
IS FULLY TURNED IN THE COUNTERCLOCKWISE DI-
RECTION (ZERO SEI"FING) YOUR DRILL MAY NOT RUN.
IF YOU DESIRE NOT TO USE THE VARIABLE SPEED
CONTROL SELECTOR, TURN IT IN THE FULL CLOCK-
WISE DIRECTION. THIS WILL ALLOW THE SPEED OF
YOUR DRILL TO BE FULLY CONTROLLED BY THE
AMOUNT OF SWITCH TRIGGER DEPRESSION.
Avoid running your drill at lowspeeds for extended periods of
time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause your drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
your drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
The following guidelines may he used in determining correct
speed for vadous applications:
LOW speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is
required. For example: starting holes without center punch-
ing,driving screws, mixing paint, and drilling in ceramics.
MEDIUM speed is suitable for drillinghard metals, plastics,
and ]arnloates.
HIGH speed produces best results when maximum power is
required. For example: drilling in wood; solt metals such as
aluminum, brass, and copper; and when using ditving acces-
sodes.
