English Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig. 3-5) Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. Circling the torque adjustment collar (E) are numbers. These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with the arrow. Three-Speed Gearing (Fig. 3-5) The three-speed feature of your tool allows you to shift gears for greater versatility. To select speed 1 (highest torque setting), turn the tool off and permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter (G) all the way forward. Speed 2 (middle torque and speed setting) is in the middle position. Speed 3 (highest speed setting) is to the rear. NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing gears. If you have trouble changing gears, make sure that the gear shifter is engaged in one of the three speed settings. Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (Fig. 6-8) WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result. Always lock off trigger switch and disconnect tool from power source when changing accessories. WARNING: Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit may eject from tool causing possible personal injury. Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating sleeve for onehanded operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps. 1. Turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source. 2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck (D) with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool as shown in Figure 6. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise (as viewed from the front) far enough to accept the desired accessory. 3. Insert the accessory about 3/4" (19 mm) into the chuck and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other hand. Continue to rotate the chuck sleeve until several ratchet clicks are heard to ensure full gripping power. Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness. To release the accessory, repeat Steps 1 and 2 above.
