Inserting/Removing the Battery
To remove the battery, push in the release buttons
and pull the battery pack away from the tool.
To insert the battery, slide the pack into the body
of the tool. Make sure it latches securely into place.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always use a side handle when using this tool.
Always brace or hold securely. Ensure side
handle is tightened securely before each use.
Installing the Side Handle
1. To install the side handle,
loosen the side handle grip
until the hooks are far enough
Slots
apart to fi t into the slots on the
gear case ring. Position the side
handle on the top, pointing to
the left or right. Tighten the side
handle grip until it is secure.
2. To remove the side handle,
loosen the side handle grip until
the side handle can be removed. Reposition and
tighten securely.
WARNING
Always remove battery
pack before changing or removing acces-
sories. Only use accessories specifically
recommended for this tool. Others may be
hazardous.
Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or
removing bits. Select the proper style and size bit
for the job.
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck
can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip
strengths on the bit.
1. To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the
bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck
jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far
enough for the chuck jaws to grip the hex of the bit.
2. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the
chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve
can not be rotated any further.
3. To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the coun-
terclockwise direction.
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.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.
Hooks
Selecting Drill or Drive Action
(Cat. No. 2703-20)
1. To use the drilling mode,
rotate the application selector
collar until the drill symbol
appears in line with the arrow.
NOTE: The number selected
on the torque selector collar
has no effect on operation of
the drill in drilling mode.
2. To use the driving screws
mode rotate the application
selector collar until the drive
symbol appears in line
with the arrow. Then rotate the
torque selector collar until the
desired clutch setting appears
in line with the arrow.
The adjustable clutch, when properly adjusted,
will slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the
screw too deep into different materials and to
prevent damage to the screw or tool.

Selecting Hammer, Drill or Drive Action
(Cat. No. 2704-20)
1. To use the hammer-drilling
mode, rotate the application
selector collar until the hammer
symbol appears in line with
the arrow. Apply pressure to
the bit to engage the hammer-
ing mechanism.
NOTE: The number selected
on the torque selector collar has no effect on op-
eration of the drill in hammer mode.
NOTE: When using carbide bits, do not use wa-
ter to settle dust. Do not attempt to drill through
steel reinforcing rods. This will damage the
carbide bits.
2. To use the drilling only
mode, rotate the application
selector collar until the drill
symbol appears in line with
the arrow.
NOTE: The number selected
on the torque selector collar
has no effect on operation of
the drill in drilling mode.
3. To use the driving screws
mode rotate the application
selector collar until the drive
symbol appears in line
with the arrow. Then rotate the
torque selector collar until the
desired clutch setting appears
in line with the arrow.
The adjustable clutch, when properly adjusted,
will slip at a preset torque to prevent driving the
screw too deep into different materials and to
prevent damage to the screw or tool.
The torque specifi cations shown here are approximate
values obtained with a fully charged battery pack.

Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing.
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before
changing speeds. See "Applications" for recom-
mended speeds under various conditions.
1. For Low speed, push the speed selector to
display "1".
2. For High speed, push the speed selector to
display "2".
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, 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.
For forward (clockwise)
rotation, push in the
control switch from the
right side of the tool.
Forward
Check the direction of
rotation before use.
Lock
For reverse (counter-
Push to
CENTER
clockwise) rotation, push
in the control switch from
the left side of the tool. Check direction of rota-
tion before use.
To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. 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
accessories, storing the tool and any time the tool
is not in use.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury,
always hold or brace securely.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handles fi rmly and
pull the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is
pulled.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the
pressure on the trigger. The further the trigger
is pulled, the greater the speed.
3. To stop the tool, release the trigger. Make sure
the bit comes to a complete stop before laying
the tool down.
Drilling
Place the bit on the work surface and apply fi rm
pressure before starting. Too much pressure will
slow the bit and reduce drilling effi ciency. Too little
pressure will cause the bit to slide over the work
area and dull the point of the bit.
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.
