Ryobi PBLID02 Operator's Manual page 7

WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock the
switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when
installing or removing the battery pack, and when install-
ing or removing bits.
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 2, page 9.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To turn the driver ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the collet to come
to a complete stop.
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE: Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the driver to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the driver by running it without a load and at full speed.
INSTALLING / REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 9.
 Lock the switch trigger.
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery
pack snap in place and battery pack is secured before
beginning operation.
 Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's
manuals for your battery pack and charger.
INSTALLING / REMOVING BITS
See Figure 4, page 9.
 To install bits, remove the battery pack from the tool.
 Push the bit into the collet until it clicks into place.
NOTE: If the bit does not insert easily into the collet, pull
the collet forward and reinsert the bit.
 Pull on the bit to make sure it is secured in the collet. There
may be some play in the installed bit; this is normal.
NOTE: Use only impact quality bits with a locking groove.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Make sure the bit is secured in the collet before using
the impact driver. Failure to do so could cause serious
personal injury.
 To remove bits, remove the battery pack from the tool.
 With the nose of the tool pointed away from you, pull the
collet away from the driver.
 The bit will eject from the collet.
LED LIGHT
See Figure 5, page 9.
The LED light located on the front of the tool base illuminates
when the switch trigger is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
lights to start fading and then shut off.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged battery
pack in the tool.
MODE SELECTOR
See Figure 5, page 9.
Press the mode selector to cycle between Low (1) speed,
Medium (2) speed, High (3) speed, and Assist Mode (A).
Assist Mode provides better control when driving or removing
troublesome fasteners. When driving fasteners (forward
setting), the impact driver will start slow to drive the fastener
into the workpiece and then speed up to finish. When
removing fasteners (reverse setting) the impact driver will
pulse six times and then speed up to remove the fastener.
The range of speeds available in each setting are:
 Assist Mode (A) ..........................................0-2,900 RPM
 Low (1) .......................................................... 0-850 RPM
 Medium (2) ................................................... 0-2,000 RPM
 High (3)....................................................... 0-2,900 RPM
NOTICE:
Never change modes while the tool is running. Doing so
may result in serious damage to the tool.
