OPERATION
Installing and Removing
the Battery Pack (Fig. 3)
NOTE: Make sure your battery pack is
fully charged.
To install the battery pack into the tool
handle, align the base of the tool with the
notch inside the tool's handle and slide
the battery pack firmly into the handle
until you hear the lock snap into place as
shown.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release buttons
and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool handle. Insert it into the
charger as described in the charger section of this manual.
Variable Speed Switch (Fig. 4)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch. 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 select the best speed for a
particular application. The farther you squeeze the trigger, the faster
the tool will operate. Use lower speeds for starting holes without a cen-
terpunch, drilling in metals or plastics, driving
screws and drilling ceramics, or in any application
requiring high torque. Higher speeds are better
for drilling in wood, wood compositions and for
using abrasive and polishing accessories. For
maximum tool life, use variable speed only for
starting holes or fasteners.
