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.
 To remove bits, lock the switch trigger and open the
chuck jaws.
 The bit provided with the drill can be placed in the storage
area, located on the base of the drill.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HI-LO SWITCH)
See Figure 6, page 11.

Select LO (1) speed for applications requiring higher
power and torque.
 Select HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.
NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running. Failure
to obey this caution could result in serious damage to
the drill.
NOTE: If you have difficulty changing from one gear
range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears
engage.
QUICK MODE SELECTOR
See Figure 7, page 11.
The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch from
drill mode to drive mode.
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.
Using the chart , select the option that best matches the type
of bit, fastener, and material you will be using.

Choose your APPLICATION.
 Choose the correct SPEED: (1/LOW OR 2/HIGH)
 Choose the correct MODE: (DRIVE, DRILL, OR
HAMMER)
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 8, page 11.
When using the drill-driver for various driving applications,
increasing or decreasing the torque helps prevent the
possibility of damaging screw heads, threads, workpiece,
etc. In general, torque intensity should correspond to the
screw diameter. If the torque is too high or the screws too
small, the screws may be damaged or broken.
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment ring.
The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is
set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.
