VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the maximum
nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to
the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease
speed. This accurate speed control enables
you to drill without center punching. It also
permits you to use as a power screwdriver.
Bits are available for driving screws as well as
running bolts and nuts.

the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is
especially useful in the repetitive driving and
removal of screws.
Your tool is equipped with two separate gear
ranges, Hi-torque and High-speed. Hi-torque
provides high-torque and slower drilling
speeds for heavy duty work or for driving
screws. High-speed provides faster speeds for
drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide
