TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN

See Figure 7.
The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or
driving at

LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on

top 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.

NOTE: If you have difficulty changing from one gear
range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears
engage.

CAUTION:

Never change gears while the tool is running. Failure to

obey this caution could result in serious damage to the

drill.

QUICK MODE SELECTOR

See Figure 8.
The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch from
drill mode to drive mode.
In general, 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.
