OPERATION
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.
MAGNETIC BIT HOLDER
See Figure 8.
The magnetic bit holder extends the reach of the bit and holds
the bit and screws until you are ready to drive them. Storage
for the bit holder is located on the front of the tool’s base.
INTERNAL SPINDLE LOCK
The internal spindle lock allows the user single-handed
control of chuck adjustments and bit changes. Squeezing
the chuck body stops the chuck jaws from turning. For bit
changes and chuck adjustments, squeeze the chuck body
and turn.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figure 9.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
 Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening
is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also,
raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling
out of the chuck jaws.
 Insert the drill bit.
 Tighten the chuck jaws on 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, as shown in figure 10. This could
cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting
in possible serious personal injury or damage to the
chuck.
 Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the chuck jaws
securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked
LOCK to tighten the chuck jaws. Do not
use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
