SWITCH

LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 2.
Your drill is equipped with a lock-on feature which is

VARIABLE SPEED
See Figure 2.
Your drill has a variable speed switch designed to allow
operator control of speed and torque limits. The speed
and torque of your drill can be increased by depressing
the switch trigger.
Note: Depress switch trigger all the way for maximum
speed and torque of your drill. Depress switch trigger
only part of the way for less speed and torque.
Avoid running your drill at low speeds for extended
periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant
usage may cause your drill to become overheated. If this
occurs, cool your drill by running it without a load and at
full speed.
The following guidelines may be used in determining
correct speed for various applications:
■ Low speed is ideal when minimum speed and power
is required. For example, starting holes without
center punching, driving screws, mixing paint, and
drilling in ceramics.
■ Medium speed is suitable for drilling hard metals,
plastics, and laminates.
■ High speed produces best results when maximum
power is required. For example, drilling in wood; soft
metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, and
when using driving accessories.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your drill until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result
in possible serious personal injury.
