DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 1, page i.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent
accidental starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward drilling. Position the selector to
the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
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 installing or removing bits.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page i.
 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 that battery pack is secured in the
product 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 Figures 3 - 6, pages i and ii.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body to tighten or release the drill bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
 To install bits, lock the switch trigger.
 Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is
slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use.
 Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the drill bit
straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill
bit into the chuck jaws at an angle, then tighten.
This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the
drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or
damage to the chuck.
OPERATION
 Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand.
With your other hand, rotate the chuck body to close
and tighten the chuck jaws.
WARNING:
hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the
chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip
in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in
contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an
accident resulting in serious personal injury.
 To remove bits, lock the switch trigger and open the
chuck jaws.
 The bit provided with the drill can be placed in the
storage area, located on the base of the drill.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 7, page ii.
Rotate the adjustment ring to the proper torque setting for
the type of material and size of screw you are using.
• 1 - 4
• 5 - 8
• 9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard
• 13 - 16 For driving screws into hard wood
• 17 - 20 For driving large screws
• 21-
DRILLING/DRIVING SCREWS
See Figure 8, page ii.
 Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
 Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep
it from turning as the bit rotates.
 Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled, or where the screw is to be driven.
WARNING:
is likely to be hidden wiring behind the surface.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and possibly shock
the operator. If you must drive a screw where
hidden wire may be present, always hold tool by
insulated gripping surfaces (handle) when per-
forming the operation to prevent a shock to the
operator.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
 Move the bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting or driving the screw.
Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate
a hole. Let the tool do the work.
