Adjustable Torque Clutch; Drill Mode - Craftsman 26302 - Professional 20 Volt Lithium-Ion Operator's Manual

TWO-SPEED GEAR B OX (Fig. 8)
The drill h as atwo-speed gear b ox designed
fordrilling ordriving atLO orHIspeeds. A
slide switch islocated onthe top ofthe drill t o
select
either LO or HI speed. When using drill
in the LO speed range, speed will decrease
and the drill will have more power and torque.
When using drill in the HI speed range, speed
will increase and the drill will have less power
and torque. Use LO speed for high power and
torque applications and HI speed for fast drilling
or driving applications.
NOTE: Avoid running the drill at LO
speed for extended periods of time.
Running at LO speed under constant
usage may cause the drill to become
overheated, if this occurs, cool the drill
by running it without a load at HI speed.

_CAUTION: Never change gears while the tool is running. Failure to obey this caution/
could result in serious damage to the drill.

ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH (Fig. 9)
When using the drill/driver for different driving applications, it is necessary to increase or
decrease the torque in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw heads, threads,
workpiece, etc. In general, torque intensity should correspond to the screw diameter, if the torque
is too high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged or broken.
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque
adjustment ring.
The torque is greater when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a higher setting. The
torque is less when the torque adjustment is set
on a lower setting.
The proper setting depends on the type of
material and the size of screw you are using.
Select the option that best matches the type of
bit, fastener and material you will be using.
Ill Choose the correct speed: LO or HI.
ill Choose the correct torque setting.
