Operating Instructions
Trigger switch & reversing button (fig. E)
The drill is turned ON and OFF by pulling and releasing
u
the trigger switch (1). The farther the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the drill.
A forward/reverse control button (2) determines the direc-
u
tion of the tool.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and
u
depress the forward/reverse control button to the left.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control
u
button the opposite direction.
Torque control (fig.C)
This tool is fitted with a torque adjustment collar (3) to select
the operating mode and to set the torque for tightening
screws. Large screws and hard workpiece materials require
a higher torque setting than small screws and soft workpiece
materials.
For drilling in wood, metal and plastics, set the collar to
u
the drilling position symbol
For screwdriving, set the collar to the desired setting. If you
u
do not yet know the appropriate setting, proceed as
follows:
Set the collar to the lowest torque setting.
u
Tighten the first screw.
u
If the clutch ratchets before the desired result is achieved,
u
increase the collar setting and continue tightening the
screw. Repeat until you reach the correct setting. Use this
setting for the remaining screws.
Keyless chuck (fig. D)
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4a) with one hand and
u
use your other hand to rotate the front half (4) in the
counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and
u
tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and
rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as
viewed from the chuck end.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other ac-
cessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the
tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur
when changing accessories.

Dual range gearing (Figure F)
The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears
for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque setting
(position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter
button (5) away from the chuck. To select the high speed, low
torque setting (position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop.
Slide gear shifter button towards the chuck.
Note: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are
having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range
gear button is either completely pushed forward or completely
pushed back.
Drilling/screwdriving
Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/re-
u
verse slider (2).
To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool speed
u
depends on how far you press the switch.
To switch the tool off, release the switch.

Hints for optimum use
Drilling
Use sharp drill bits only.
u
Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
u
Safety Instructions.
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
u
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
u
Safety Instructions.
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until
u
the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
u
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting
u
action.
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
u
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
u
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled
u
hole. This will help reduce jamming.
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
u
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes.
