OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. LED Work Light
The LED worklight (F), located on the base of the
drill/driver, will illuminate when the trigger switch is
depressed. This provides additional light on the surface
of the work piece for operation in lower-light areas.
The LED work light will turn off after the trigger switch is
released.
a. The LED worklight will blink rapidly if the tool has
stopped working in order to protect internal circuits;
please wait for the tool to cool down, at which point it
can be started again.
b. The LED worklight will blink slowly to indicate that
the battery charge is very low.
6. Keyless Chuck
The drill/driver has a keyless chuck (A) to tighten or
release drill bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the
chuck indicate the direction in which to rotate the chuck
body in order to GRIP (tighten) or OPEN (release) the
chuck jaws on the drill bit.
7. Adjustable Torque Clutch
The torque clutch can be adjusted to 23 driving settings
and 1 drilling setting.
Adjust the torque by rotating the torque clutch (B). 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
duty applications.
CAUTION
• Do not change the torque setting when the tool is
running.
