VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 4.
Your drill has a vadable speed control selector
designed to allow operator control and adjustment of
speed and torque limits. The speed and torque of your
ddll can be increased or decreased by rotating the
variable speed control selector in the direction of the
arrows shown in figure 4.
Note: Hold your drill in normal operating position and
tum the vadable speed control selector clockwise to
increase the speed and torque of your ddll. Tum
counterclockwise to decrease the speed and torque of
your ddll.

If you desire to lock the switch on at a given speed,
depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-
on button, and release the switch tdgger. Next, adjust
the variable speed control selector until the desired
speed is roached.
Note: If the vadable speed control selector is fully
turned in the 'countemlockwise direction (zero setting)
your drill may not run.
If you desire not to use the variable speed control
selector, turn it in the full clockwise direction. This will
allow the speed of your drill to be fully controlled by
the amount of switch trigger depression.
Avoid running your ddll at low speeds for extended
pedods of time. Running at low speeds under con-
stant usage may cause your ddll to become over-
heated. If this occurs, cool your ddll by running it
without a load and at full speed.
The following guidelines may be used in determining
correct speed for various applications:
Low speed is ideal when minimum speed and power
is required. For example: starting holes without center
punching, ddving screws, mixing paint, and drilling in
ceramics.
Medium speed is-suitable for drilling hard metals,
plastics, and laminates.
High speed produces best results when maximum
power is required. For example: drilling in wood; soft
metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper; and
when using driving accessories.
