If model is not equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the battery pack. NOTE: Side handle comes equipped on all models. Forward/Reverse Control Button (Figure 1) A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a lock off button. To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forw ard/reverse control button on the right side of the tool. To select reverse, release the trigger switch and depress the forward/reverse control button on the left side of the tool. The center position of the control button locks the tool in the off position. When changing the position of the control button, be sure the trigger is released. NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. Worklight (Figure 1) There is a worklight (c) located just above the trigger switch (a). The worklight will be activated when the trigger switch is squeezed. 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. Mode Control Collar (Figure 3-5) Your drill is equipped with a separate mode control collar (f) to switch between drilling, screwdriving and hammerdrilling mode. DRILLING (FIGURE 3) CAUTION: When the mode collar is in the drill/hammerdrill mode, the drill will not clutch out regardless of the position of the torque adjustment collar (e). Rotate the mode control collar (f) so the drill symbol is aligned with the arrow. NOTE: The torque adjustment collar (e) may be set on any number. SCREWDRIVING (FIGURE 4) Rotate the mode control collar (f) so the screw symbol is aligned with the arrow. ENGLISH NOTE: The torque adjustment collar may be set to any number at any time. However, the torque adjustment collar is only engaged during screwdriving mode and not in drill and hammerdrill modes. HAMMERDRILLING (Figure 5) CAUTION: When the mode collar is in the drill/hammerdrill mode, the drill will not clutch out regardless of the position of the torque adjustment collar (e). Rotate the mode control collar (f) so the hammer symbol is aligned with the arrow. Torque Adjustment Collar (Figure 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 (Figure 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. Chucks 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. 11
