KEYLESS CHUCK (Fig. 5)
The drill/driver has a keyless
chuck to tighten or release bits
in the chuck jaws. The arrows on
the chuck indicate the direction in
which to rotate the chuck in order
to GRIP (tighten) or RELEASE the
chuck jaws on the bit.
ѥ
WARNING: Do not hold the
chuck with one hand and use the
power of the drill/driver to tighten
the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The
chuck could slip in your hand, or
your hand could slip and come in
contact with the rotating bit. This
could cause an accident resulting
in serious personal injury.
TWO-SPEED
GEARBOX (Fig. 6)
The drill/driver has a two-speed
gearbox for drilling or driving at
LO or HI speeds. A slide switch
is located on the top of the drill/
driver to select either LO or HI speed.
Use LO speed for high power and high torque applications and HI speed for fast
drilling or driving applications.
When using the drill/driver in the LO speed range, the speed will decrease and
the drill/driver will have more power and torque. Use LO speed for starting
holes without a center punch, drilling metals or plastic, drilling ceramics, or in
applications requiring a higher torque.
HI speed is better for drilling wood and wood composites and for using abrasive
and polishing accessories.
NOTICE: Never change gears while the tool is running. Failure to obey this
instruction could result in serious damage to the drill/driver.
