OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Two-Speed Gear Box
The drill/driver has a two-speed gear box designed for
drilling or driving at two different variable-speed ranges.
The gear selector (C) is located on the top of the drill/
driver, allowing you to select either 1 (Low) speed range
or 2 (High) speed range.
a. Setting 1 will deliver lower speeds and increased
power and torque. Use setting 1 for heavy-duty work
or driving screws.
b. Setting 2 will deliver higher speeds and reduced
power and torque. Use setting 2 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 caution could result in serious damage to the drill/driver.
4. Direction-of-Rotation Selector (Forward/Center
Lock/Reverse)
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the trigger switch (D). With
the drill/driver held in the normal operating position,
pointing away from you:
a. Position the direction-of-rotation selector (E) to the
left of the tool for forward rotation.
b. Position the direction-of-rotation selector to the right
of the tool for reverse rotation.
c. Setting the selector in the center (lock) position helps
reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not
in use.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the drill/
driver to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation.
NOTICE: The drill/driver will not run unless the direction-of-rotation selector is engaged fully to the
left or right.
