the tool.
The center position of the control locks the
trigger in the off position
WARNING: When changing the position of
the control, make sure the trigger is released
and the motor is stationary.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after chang-
ing the direction of rotation, you may hear a
click on start up. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT COLLAR
Your drill is fitted with a variable clutch, which
is operated with the torque adjustment ring.
Once adjusted, the clutch will work at a pre-
determined torque; this avoids screwing too
deeply or damaging your drill.
Torque adjustment varies with the types of
screw used and the working material. Always
start using a low torque and increase gradually
to achieve suitable operation.
Select the desired operating torque by turning
the torque adjusting ring to the appropriate
setting.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Hold the tool firmly to control the twisting of
the tool.
To prolong the life of the tool never overload
it. Start the tool by squeezing the variable
speed trigger switch. Release the trigger to
stop the tool.
This tool has a variable speed switch that de-
livers higher speed and torque with increased
trigger pressure. Speed is controlled by the
amount of switch trigger depression.
The variable speed feature is particularly use-
ful when driving screws. It also enables you to
select the best speed for a particular application.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the variable
speed feature for a short time only. Do not
continuously operate the tool at different
speeds. It may damage the switch.
HOLE DRILLING
ATTENTION: When attempting to drill a
large diameter hole, it is sometimes best to
start with a smaller drill bit then work up to
the required size. This prevents overloading
14
the drill.
• Set the tool to the DRILL mode and push the
dual range gear selector to the position "L" to
choose low speed.
NOTE: Remember to use a "wood-pecker" ac-
tion on deep holes to allow the swarf to be
ejected from the hole.
If the drill bit snags, switch off immediately to
prevent permanent damage to the drill. Try to
run the drill in reverse to remove the bit.
• Keep the drill in line with the hole. Ideally,
the drill bit should enter at right angles to the
work. If the angle is changed during drilling,
this could cause the bit to snap off blocking the
hole and perhaps causing injury.
• Reduce pressure as the drill is about to break
through the item being drilled.
• Don't force the drill, let it work at its own pace.
• Keep the drill bit sharp.
DRILLING WOOD
ATTENTION: For maximum performance
when drilling larger holes, use auger bits or
spade bits for wood drilling.
• Set the tool to the DRILL mode and push the
dual range gear selector to the position "H" to
choose high speed.
• Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent
the bit from slipping off the starting point. In-
crease the speed as the bites into the wood.
• When drilling through holes, place a block
of wood behind the work piece to prevent
ragged or splintered edges on the backside of
the hole.
DRILLING MASONRY
ATTENTION: For maximum performance,
use high quality carbide-tipped masonry drill
bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete
etc.
• Use the drilling setting initially then revert
to the hammer action once the holes are es-
tablished.
• Apply light pressure and medium speed for
best results in brick.
• Apply additional pressure and high speed for
hard materials such as concrete.
NOTE: When drilling holes in tile, practice on
a scrap piece to determine the best speed and
pressure.
NOTE: reverse rotation during impact drilling
