Operating Instructions
Fig. 9
Adjustable Clutch
Your tool features 20 clutch settings. Output
(2)
torque will increase as the clutch ring (2), is
rotated from 1 to 20. The drill "
" posi-
tion will lock up the clutch to permit drilling
and driving heavyduty work, and also enables
bits to be changed quickly and easily in the
keyless chuck (Fig. 9).
Brake
When the trigger switch is released it acti-
vates the brake to stop the chuck quickly.
This is especially useful in the repetitive driv-
ing and removal of screws.
Built-In LED Work Light
Fig. 10
Your tool is also equipped with an LED light
(3)
that turns on automatically when the switch
is activated, for better visibility when drilling/
driving (Fig. 1). The light turns off automati-
cally a short time after the trigger is released.
Drill/Hammer Drill Selector Ring
(Model GSB18V-400 only)
The selector ring (3) allows the tool to be set
for various drilling/hammer drilling applica-
tions. Rotate the selector dial right or left de-
pending on the below applications (Fig. 10).
Drill only action: For drilling in woods, met-
als, plastics or other non concrete materials.
Drill with hammer action: For drilling in con-
crete, asphalt, tile or other similar hard mate-
rials. The hammer drill position overrides the
clutch for drilling.
Temperature Overload Protection
Avoid using battery operated tools continu-
ously, for long periods of time, while subject-
ing the tool to overload conditions, such as
drilling with large diameter accessories into
hard materials. Using battery powered tools
at extreme loads, may cause the battery to
exceed its allowable operating temperature
range. When the battery exceeds normal op-
erating temperature caused by overload, the
speed of the tool may be reduced and the
tool may appear to lose power. To regain the
tool's full performance, the battery must be
allowed to cool, until the operating tempera-
ture returns to normal.
