VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the
maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure
to increase the speed and release pressure
to decrease speed. This accurate speed
control enables you to drill without center
punching. It also permits you to use as a
power screwdriver. Bits are available for
driving screws as well as running bolts and
nuts.
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located
above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was
designed for changing rotation of the chuck,
and for locking the trigger in an "OFF"
position to help prevent accidental starts and
accidental battery discharge. For forward
rotation, (with chuck pointed away from you)
move the lever to the far left. For reverse
rotation move the lever to the far right. To
activate trigger lock move lever to the center
off position.

comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to
the tool.
Your tool is equipped with two separate gear
ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear
provides high-torque and slower drilling
speeds for heavy duty work or for driving
screws. High gear provides faster speeds for
drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide
switch, to the high or low position.
ATTENTION: If your tool appears to be
running, but the chuck will not turn, check to
make sure the gear shifting switch is pushed
fully into desired setting.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 5 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the clutch ring, is
rotated from 1 to 5. The drill " " position 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.
When the trigger switch is released it
activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly.
This is especially useful in the repetitive
driving and removal of screws.
remove left-hand thread screw inside chuck
by turning it clockwise. Insert the short arm
of a 3/8" hex key wrench and close jaws on
flats of wrench. Strike long arm of wrench
