VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 2, page 10.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop.
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE: 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.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 2, page 10.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock)
position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental
starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward drilling. Position the selector to the
right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Lock
the switch when not in use or carrying at your side,
when installing or removing the battery pack, and when
installing or removing bits.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 10.
 Lock the switch trigger.
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
 Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's
manuals for your battery pack and charger.
OPERATION
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 4 - 5, page 10.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck sleeve to tighten or release the drill bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
 To install bits, lock the switch trigger.
 Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly
larger than the bit size you intend to use.
 Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert 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. This could cause the drill bit to
be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious
personal injury or damage to the chuck.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck sleeve 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 LOW (1) speed for applications requiring higher
power and torque.
 Select HIGH (2) speed for fast drilling, hammer 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.
