for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector
is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the

OFF (center lock) position

helps 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.

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.

KEYLESS CHUCK

See Figure 4, page 14.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which
direction to rotate the chuck body in order to

LOCK (tighten)

or

UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.

WARNING:

Do not hold the chuck body 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.

TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN

See Figure 5, page 15.
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.

OPERATION

If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and
resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery
needs to be recharged.

TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK

See Figure 2, page 14.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation

selector in the center position.

Place the battery pack on the tool.

Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack

snap into place and the battery pack is secured on the
tool before beginning operation.

WARNING:

Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.

TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK

See Figure 2, page 14.

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation

selector in the center position.

Depress the latches on the side of battery pack.

Remove the battery pack from the tool.

WARNING:

Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
switch should always be locked when not in use or
carrying at your side.

SWITCH TRIGGER

See Figure 3, page 14.
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 and
torque 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 14.
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
