4. TWO-SPEED GEAR CONTROL (See Fig. D)
This drill has a two-speed gear control (3) designed for
drilling or driving at low or high speeds. A slide switch is
located on top of the the drill to change between gears.
When using the drill in the low gear, speed will decrease
but the drill will have greater torque. At higher speeds,
the torque will be reduced.
GEAR I Low speeds range: for screwdriving or working
with large drilling diameter
Gear II High speed range: for working with small drilling
diameter
WARNING! To prevent gear damage, always allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation or the two-speed gear control.
5. CHUCK ADJUSTMENT (See Fig. E)
To open the chuck jaws rotate the front section of the
chuck (1). Insert the drill bit between the chuck jaws and
rotate the front section in the opposite direction. Ensure
the drill bit is in the center of the chuck jaws. Finally,
firmly rotate the front chuck section in the opposite
directions. Your drill bit is now clamped in the chuck.
