Proper Hand Position (Fig. F)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
and one hand on the battery pack.
Worklight (Fig. A)
There is a worklight
7
located on the foot of the tool. The
worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated
for up to 20 seconds.
nOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Performing an Application (Fig. A)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly.
WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to a
complete standstill before changing the direction of rotation.
Prior to performing work:
• Set the speed selector
6
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck. Refer to
Installing a Bit or Accessory into a Keyless Chuck.
WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily combustible or
explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol, etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids labeled accordingly.
• Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers on the mode selection collar
torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number on the
collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which
can be driven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired depth in
the workpiece.
Recommendations for screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece or fastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the mode
selection collar.
Drilling
1. Turn the mode selection collar
Mode Selection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
nOTE: Use sharp drill bit only.
3. Pull the trigger applying pressure in a straight line with the
bit until it reaches the desired depth.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden
twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the
twisting action and avoid injury.

drilled hole to prevent jamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect
the bit.

• IF THE DRILL sTaLLs:
- RELEasE TRIGGER sWITcH IMMEDIaTELY, remove drill bit
from work, and determine cause of stalling.
- DO nOT DEPREss TRIGGER sWITcH On anD OFF In an
aTTEMPT TO sTaRT a sTaLLED DRILL—THIs can DaMaGE
THE DRILL.
- To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part
of the hole.
• Large holes (7.9 mm to 12.7 mm) in steel can be made easier
if a pilot hole (4 mm to 4.8 mm) is drilled first.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to splinter, use
a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the work piece.
