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 6, page 14.
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 Figures 7 - 8, page 14.
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.
