OPERATION
R86008 DRILL-DRIVER
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 7 - 8, page 14.
A bit storage area is located on the base of the tool.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body 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 and remove the
battery pack.
 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.
 Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand.
With your other hand, rotate the chuck body to close and
tighten the chuck jaws.
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.
TWO SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HI-LO SWITCH)
See Figure 9, page 14.
 Select LO (1) speed for applications requiring higher
power and torque.
 Select HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.
NOTE: Operating at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the tool to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the tool by running it without a load and at full speed.
NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 9, page 14.
Rotate the adjustment ring to the proper torque setting for
the type of material and size of screw you are using.
• 1 - 4 For driving small screws
• 5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material
• 9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard
materials
• 13 - 16 For driving screws into hard wood
• 17 - 23 For driving large screws
• For heavy drilling
DRILLING/DRIVING SCREWS
See Figure 10, page 14.
 Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
 Use LO (1) speed for high torque applications and
HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications. Refer
to Two-Speed Gear Train and Adjusting Torque.
 Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the bit rotates.
 Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled, or where the screw is to be driven.
WARNING
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be
hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and possibly shock the operator. If you must
drive a screw where hidden wire may be present,
always hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
(handle) when performing the operation to prevent
a shock to the operator.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
 Move the bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting or driving the screw. Do
not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole. Let the tool do the work.
WARNING
When drilling, be prepared for binding at bit
breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill
has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the
direction of rotation and could cause loss of control
when breaking through material. If not prepared,
this loss of control can result in possible serious
injury.
