BATTERY POWER INDICATOR
Your tool has a built-in battery power indictor (8-fIG 1) right above the trigger switch. It has three colored lights-
Green, Yellow and Red. Depress the trigger switch slightly to check the battery power level. When all three lights
illuminate, it indicates the battery is at full power. The battery is at half full power when only the yellow and
red lights illuminate. When the red light illuminates only, it indicates that the battery is at low power level and
requires immediate charging.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
This drill is equipped with an electric brake. Like the torque settings, an electric brake provides you with another
element of control during various operations. If the tool consistently fails to quickly stop after trigger switch
release, have a qualified serviceman examine the tool.
CHUCK (FIG 5)
• Your drill is equipped with a single sleeve keyless chuck (1), so
you can quickly change bits with no extra tools required.
• To install bits, place the reversing switch in the Off (middle)
position. Rotate the chuck body counter-clockwise to open the
chuck jaws (2) to a point where the opening is slightly larger
than the bit size you intend to use. Insert the bit. Tighten the
chuck jaws by rotating the chuck body clockwise to secure the
bit in place.
NOTE:
Always make sure that bits are seated firmly between
the chuck jaws. Never attempt to operate a bit that is wobbly,
unstable, or broken.
• To remove bits, place the reversing switch in the Off (middle)
position. Loosen the chuck jaws by rotating the chuck body
counter-clockwise. Remove the bit.
WArNING:
not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle and tighten. This could cause the
drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
CLUTCH (TORQUE) SETTINGS
• During screw driving applications, you can adjust the maximum torque that the drill will produce.
• This feature can be used to prevent the stripping and breaking of screws, or to set a series of screws to a
depth that fits your project.
• Set the clutch ring (2-fIG 1) to settings from 1 (lightest) to 22 (heaviest). Setting 22 (
(torque is not limited) and used primarily for drilling operations.
• In general, you will find the lower settings more useful with smaller screws and the higher settings more
useful for larger screws.
APPLICATION
GENERAL SCREWDRIVING
1. Clamp your workpiece.
2. Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into hardwoods.
3. exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw. Let the tool do the work.
4. use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance.
GENERAL DRILLING
1. Clamp your workpiece. use torque setting 22 (
drilling. Do not force or stall the bit. Don't bend or twist the bit. Let the tool and the drill bit do the work.
2. Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding and for bit breakthrough.
WArNING:
balance in case of binding and breakthrough can result in serious personal injury.
