INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK See Figure 2, page 11. To install the battery pack:  Place the direction of rotation selector in the center ­position.  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. To remove the battery pack:  Depress the latches on each side of the battery pack.  Remove the battery pack from the tool. WARNING: Battery products are always in operating condition. Therefore, the switch should always be locked when not in use or carrying at your side. SWITCH TRIGGER See Figure 3, page 11. To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger. VARIABLE SPEED The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure. Note: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal part of the switch function. DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR (FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK) See Figure 3, page 11. The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger. Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock) position will lock the switch trigger to help reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation. To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop. NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right. Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods of time. 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. 8 − English
