DIRECTION-OF-ROTATION (FORWARD/
CENTER-LOCK/REVERSE) SELECTOR
WARNING
selector in the "OFF" position (center-lock)
to help prevent accidental starts and
possible injury.
Your tool is equipped with a direction-of-rotation
selector, located above the variable-speed
trigger switch. This selector is used to change
the direction of rotation of the bit and to lock the
variable-speed trigger in the OFF (center-lock)
position.
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to
the far left of the tool to drive screws in or drill
holes (Fig. 10).
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to
the far right of the tool to remove screws
(Fig. 10).
c Position the switch in the OFF
(center-lock) position to help reduce the
possibility of accidental starting when not in
use.
TWO-SPEED GEAR SHIFTER (FIG. 11
Your tool is equipped with a two-speed gearbox
designed for operating at two different gears.
The shifter is located on top of the tool and
allows to switch between gears "1" and "2".
a. Gear "1" provides higher torque and slower
speeds for heavy-duty work or for driving
screws, drilling large diameter holes, or
tapping threads. Use the mode "1" for starting
holes without a center punch, drilling metals
or plastic, drilling ceramics, or in applications
requiring a higher torque.
b. Gear "2" provides lower torque and faster
speeds for hammer drilling (model FX1271T
only) or lighter drilling work. The gear "2"
speed is more suitable for drilling wood and
wood composites and for using abrasive and
polishing accessories.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always
allow the tool to come to a complete stop before
changing gears.
