English LED Work Light (Fig. A) CAUTION: Do not stare into worklight. Serious eye injury could result. The worklight 8 is activated when the trigger switch 4 is depressed, and will automatically turn off approximately 20 seconds after the trigger switch is released. NOTE: The work light 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 7 . Refer to Speed Selection. • 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 (1-15) Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The numbers 1-15 on the mode selection collar 6 are used to set a 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 6 to the desired position. 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 IMPORTANT: For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonry bits. 1. Turn the mode selection collar 6 to the drill symbol. Refer to Mode Selection. 2. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece. NOTE: Use sharp drill bit only. 3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth. 10 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. 4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a 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 (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [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. MAINTENANCE WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Cleaning WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week.
