♦

For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If

you do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as

follows:

♦

Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.

♦

Tighten the first screw.

♦

If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is

achieved, increase the collar setting and continue

tightening the screw. Repeat until you reach the correct

setting. Use this setting for the remaining screws.

Keyless chuck (fig. F)

Warning! Make certain the lock-off button (2) is engaged

to prevent switch actuation before installing or removing

accessories.

To insert a drill bit or other accessory:

♦

Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4) with one hand

and use your other hand to rotate the front half in the

counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck

end.

♦

Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and

tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and

rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as

viewed from the chuck end.

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

occur when changing accessories.

Dual range gearing (Figure G)

The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears

for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque

setting (position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear

shifter button (5) away from the chuck. To select the high

speed, low torque setting (position 2), turn tool off and permit

to stop.

Slide gear shifter button towards the chuck.

Note: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are

having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual

range gear button is either completely pushed forward or

completely pushed back.

Drilling/screwdriving

♦

Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/

reverse slider (2).

♦

To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool

speed depends on how far you press the switch.

♦

To switch the tool off, release the switch.

Hints for optimum use

Drilling

♦

Use sharp drill bits only.

(Original instructions)

♦

Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the

Safety Instructions.

♦

Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as

instructed in the Safety Instructions.

♦

Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the

Safety Instructions.

♦

Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the

hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping

out of it.

♦

Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough

pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall

the motor or deflect the bit.

♦

Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting

action.

♦

DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL

OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE

TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.

♦

Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure

and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.

♦

Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of

a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.

♦

Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

Drilling in wood

Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits

used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp

and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear

chips from the flutes.

Drilling in metal

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions

are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The

cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or

lard oil.

Drilling in masonry

For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer

drilling position by aligning the symbol with the marking.

Slide the speed selector (5) towards the front of the tool (2nd

gear).

Screwdriving

♦

Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.

♦

If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small

amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.

♦

Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line

with the screw
