OPERATION VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER See Figure 2, page 10. The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop. NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch during use is a normal part of the switch function. NOTE: Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill by running it without a load and at full speed. DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR (FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK) See Figure 2, page 10. Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock) position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental starting when not in use. Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the switch trigger for forward drilling. Position the selector to the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction. NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right. NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation. WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your side, when installing or removing the battery pack, and when installing or removing bits. INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK See Figure 3, page 10. Lock the switch trigger. Insert the battery pack into the product as shown. Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the product before beginning operation. Depress the latches to remove the battery pack. For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manuals for your battery pack and charger. INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS See Figures 4 - 5, page 10. The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck sleeve to tighten or release the drill bit. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws. To install bits, lock the switch trigger. Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit. WARNING: Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle, then tighten. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck. WARNING: Do not hold the chuck sleeve with one hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury. To remove bits, lock the switch trigger and open the chuck jaws. The bit provided with the drill can be placed in the storage area, located on the base of the drill. TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HI-LO SWITCH) See Figure 6, page 11. Select LOW (1) speed for applications requiring higher power and torque. Select HIGH (2) speed for fast drilling, hammer drilling or driving applications. NOTICE: Never change speeds while the tool is running. Failure to obey this caution could result in serious damage to the drill. NOTE: If you have difficulty changing from one gear range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage. QUICK MODE SELECTOR See Figure 7, page 11. The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch from drill mode to drive mode. Drill mode should be used for drilling and other heavy duty applications. Drive mode should be used for driving screws. Hammer mode should be used for hammer drilling. 6 - English
