the hex of the bit.  
WARNING  
2. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve  
in the clockwise direction. The bit is se-  
cure when the chuck makes a ratcheting  
sound and the sleeve can not be rotated  
any further.

This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The  
chuck can be tightened with one hand, creat-  
ing higher grip strengths on the bit.  
NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard  
when the chuck is opened or closed. This  
noise is part of the locking feature, and  
does not indicate a problem with the chuck's  
operation.

Using the Adjustable Clutch  
Selecting Speed  
Fig. 4  
To lock the trigger, push the control switch  
to the center position (Fig. 7). The trigger  
will not work while the control switch is in  
the center locked position. Always lock the  
trigger or remove the battery pack before  
performing maintenance, changing acces-  
sories, storing the tool and any time the tool  
is not in use.  
Drilling  
Set the torque selector collars to the drill  
position.  
This tool has an adjustable clutch for driving  
different types of screws into different materi-  
als. When properly adjusted, the clutch will  
slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the  
screw too deep and to prevent damage to  
the screw or tool.  
Place the bit on the work surface and ap-  
ply rm pressure before starting. Too much  
pressure will slow the bit and reduce drilling  
efciency. Too little pressure will cause the  
bit to slide over the work area and dull the  
point of the bit.  
Low = 1  
High = 2  
To adjust the clutch, turn the clutch adjusting  
ring so that the desired setting (1-23) lines  
up with the arrow on the motor housing, as  
shown.  
Fig. 7  
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure  
slightly to allow the bit to regain speed. If  
the bit binds, reverse the motor to free the  
bit from the workpiece.  
Push to  
center  
position to  
lock trigger  
The speed selector is on top of the motor  
housing.Allow the tool to come to a complete  
stop before changing speeds. See “Ap-  
plications” for recommended speeds under  
various conditions.

Battery Pack Protection  
To protect itself from damage and extend its  
life, the battery pack’s intelligent circuit moni-  
tors current draw and temperature.  
1. For Low speed (up to 350 RPM), push  
the speed selector to the left ("1" is  
displayed).  
Starting, Stopping and Controlling  
Speed  
Driving  
Fig. 3  
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling,  
and short circuit situations, the battery pack  
will turn OFF the tool if the current draw be-  
comes too high. In these situations, the tool  
will "buzz" for about 5 seconds before it turns  
OFF. To reset, pull and release the trigger.  
If this happens repeatedly, the battery pack  
will shut down and need to be placed on the  
charger to reset.  
1. To start the tool, grasp the handle rmly  
2. For High speed (up to 1400 RPM), push  
the speed selector to the right ("2" is  
displayed).  
and pull the trigger.  
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the  
trigger is pulled. It will go off when the  
trigger is released.  
Using Control Switch  
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease  
the pressure on the trigger. The further the  
trigger is pulled, the greater the speed.  
The control switch may be set to three posi-  
tions: forward, reverse and lock. Due to a  
lockout mechanism, the control switch can  
only be adjusted when the ON/OFF switch  
is not pressed. Always allow the motor to  
come to a complete stop before using the  
control switch.  
Drilling  
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger.  
Make sure the bit comes to a complete  
stop before laying the tool down.  
Under extreme circumstances, the internal  
temperature of the battery could become too  
high. If this happens, the battery pack will  
shut off. Remove the battery pack from the  
tool and place it on the charger to reset it.  
The torque specications shown here are  
approximate values obtained with a fully  
charged battery pack.  
For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the  
control switch from the right side of the tool  
(Fig. 5). Check the direction of rotation  
before use.

When drilling in metal, use high speed steel  
twist drills or hole saws. Use a center punch  
to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with cut-  
ting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a  
coolant when drilling in nonferrous metals  
such as copper, brass or aluminum. Back  
the material to prevent binding and distortion  
on breakthrough.

When drilling in wood, composition materials  
and plastic, start the drill slowly, gradually  
increasing speed as you drill. When drilling  
into wood, use wood augers or twist drill bits.  
Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill  
bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to  
clear chips from the bit utes. To reduce the  
chance of splintering, back work with a piece  
of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics  
with a low melting point.  
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick  
or hard materials. Set the torque selector col-  
lar to the proper position and set the speed to  
low. Use the proper style and size screwdriver  
bit for the type of screw you are using.

NOTE: Because the settings shown in the  
table are only a guide, use a piece of scrap  
material to test the different clutch settings  
before driving screws into the workpiece.
