SPINDLELOCK
See Figure 3.
[] To lock the spindle, depress and hold the spindle lock
button.
[] While keeping the button depressed, rotate the chuck
clockwise until the spindle clicks into a locked position
and will not rotate further.
[] To unlock, release the button.
NOTE: Always be sure the spindle lock button is released
and disengaged before turning the drill ON.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 4.
The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or
driving at LO (1) or HI (2} speeds. A switch is located on
the side of the drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed.
When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will
decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When
using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase
and unit will have less power and torque. Use LO (1)
speed for high power and torque applications and HI (2)
speed for fast drilling or driving applications.
_IIL WARNING: Always unplug the tool when installing
or removing bits, adjusting settings, or when the tool
is not in use. Failure to unplug the tool may result in
accidental starting and serious personal injury.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figure 5 - 6.
[] Unplug the drill.
[] Lock the spindle.
[] 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 6. 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 LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not
use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
[] Release the spindle lock button.
