Forward/Reverse Control Button
(fi g. 1)
A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off
button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger
switch and depress the forward/reverse control
button on the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse
control button on the left side of the tool.
The center position of the control button locks the
tool in the off position. When changing the position
of the control button, be sure the trigger is released.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing
the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on
start up. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Torque Adjustment Collar (fi g. 1)
Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver
mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of
fastener shapes and sizes and in some models, a
hammer mechanism for drilling into masonry. Circling
the collar (c) are numbers, a drill bit symbol, and in
some models, a hammer symbol. These numbers
are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range.
The higher the number on the collar, the higher the
torque and the larger the fastener which can be
driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the
desired number aligns with the arrow.
Dual Range Gearing (fi g. 1)
The dual range feature of your driver/drill allows you
to shift gears for greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn
the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear
selector (d) forward (towards the chuck) as shown
in Figure 1.
To select the high speed, low torque setting, turn the
tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear selector
back (away from chuck).
