removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up
can cause injury.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 1, 8)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle (i).
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (fi g. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a). To
turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool
is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop when
the trigger switch is fully released.
The variable speed switch enables you to select the
best speed for a particular application. The further
you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will
operate. For maximum tool life, use variable speed
only for starting holes or fasteners
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is
not recommended. It may damage the switch and
should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control Button
(fi g. 1)
A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off
button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
and depress the forward/reverse control button on
the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse
control button on the left side of the tool. The center
position of the control button locks the tool in the off
position. When changing the position of the control
button, be sure the trigger is released.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight (fi g. 1)
There is a worklight (h) located under the torque
adjustment collar (c). The worklight will be activated
when the trigger switch is squeezed.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.

Torque Adjustment Collar (fi g. 1)
The torque adjustment collar (c) is clearly marked
with numbers and a drill bit symbol.The collar should
be rotated until the desired setting is located at the
top of the tool. Locators are provided in the collar to
eliminate the guess work when selecting fastening
torque. The higher the number on the collar, the higher
the torque and the larger the fastener which can be
driven. To lock the clutch for drilling operations, move
to the drill bit position.
NOTE: When using the drill/driver for drilling holes, be
sure that the torque adjusting collar is set so the figure
of the drill is aligned with the center line on the top of
the tool. Failure to do this will allow the clutch to slip
while attempting to drill.
Dual Range Gearing (fi g. 1, 4)
The dual range feature of your driver/drill allows you to
shift gears for greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn the
tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear shifter (d)
forward (towards the chuck). To select the high speed,
low torque setting, turn the tool off and permit to stop.
Slide the gear shifter back (away from chuck).
NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running.
If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure
that the dual range gear shifter is either completely
pushed forward or completely pushed back.
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (fi g. 5)
Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating
sleeve for one-handed operation of the chuck. To
insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps.
1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as previously
described.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one
hand and use the other hand to secure the
tool. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise far
enough to accept the desired accessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm (3/4") into the
chuck and tighten securely by rotating the chuck
sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the
tool with the other. Your tool is equipped with an
automatic spindle lock mechanism. This allows
you to open and close the chuck with one hand.
To release the accessory, repeat step 2 above.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten
drill bits (or any other accessory) by
gripping the front part of the chuck and
turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck
and personal injury may result. Always
lock off trigger switch when changing
acces sories.
