EN GLI SH
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle (e).
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (fi g. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a).
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your
tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop as
soon as the trigger switch is fully released.
The variable speed switch enables you to start
the application at a slow speed. The further you
squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will operate.
For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for
starting holes or fasteners.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is
not recommended. It may damage the switch and
should be avoided.
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.
Worklights (fi g. 1)
There are three worklights (h) located around the
chuck collar (d). The worklight will be activated when
the trigger switch is squeezed.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as a
flashlight.
Torque Adjustment Collar (fi g. 1)
The torque adjustment collar (c) is clearly marked
with numbers and the max position.The collar should
be rotated until the desired setting is located at the
top of the tool. Locators are provided in the collar to
34
eliminate the guess work when selecting fastening
torque. The higher the number on the collar, the higher
the torque and the larger the fastener which can be
driven. To lock the clutch for drilling operations, move
to the max position.
Quick-Release Chuck (fi g. 1, 4)
NOTE: The chuck accepts 1/4" (6.35 mm) hex
accessories or 1" (25.4 mm) bit tips only. Using 1"
(25.4 mm) bits allows better access in tight spaces.
Place the forward/reverse button (b) in the locked
off (center) position or remove battery pack before
changing accessories.
The bit shown in Figure 4 is typical of the bits for use
in the quick-release chuck with a groove (l) which is
required to hold the bit firmly.
To install an accessory, push accessory to fully
insert into chuck. The chuck collar does not need to
be pulled up to lock accessory in place.
To remove an accessory, pull the chuck collar
away from the front of the tool. Remove the
accessory and release the collar.
Screwdriver Mode (fi g. 1)
Select the desired torque number using the torque
adjustment collar (c) on the top of tool.
Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck
as you would any screwdriver bit. Make a few
practice runs in scrap or unseen areas to determine
the proper position of the clutch collar.

WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, place
the forward/reverse button in
the lock-off position or turn tool
off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS ensure
workpiece is anchored or clamped
firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
"back-up" block to prevent damage to
the material.
Turn the collar to the max position symbol for drilling.
1. Use hex shank drill bits only.
2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting,
but do not push hard enough to stall the motor
or deflect the bit.
