OPERATION TWO-SPEED GEAR SHIFT KNOB See Figure 6. The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A switch is located on the side of the drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and unit will have less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for high power and torque applications and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications. CAUTION: Never change gears while the tool is running. Failure to obey this caution could result in serious damage to the drill.
