DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORwARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCk)
See Figure 3, page 9.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the
screwdriver held in normal operating position, the direction
of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
switch trigger for forward motion. The direction is reversed
when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the collet to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
To stop the screwdriver, release the switch trigger and allow
the collet to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The screwdriver will not run unless the direction of
rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
TwO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 4, page 9.
The screwdriver has a two-speed gear train designed for low
(Position 1) or high (Position 2) speeds. A slide switch is
located on top of the screwdriver to select the speed setting.
When using screwdriver in the low speed range (Position
1), speed will decrease and unit will have more power and
torque. When using screwdriver in the high speed range
(Position 2), speed will increase and unit will have less
power and torque. When drilling use 1/4 in. hex shank drill
bits only. Maximum drill size is 1/4 in.
Use the high speed setting to drill holes, and use the low
speed setting for driving screws.
TO LOAD/RELEASE BITS
See Figure 5, page 9.
The SPEEDLOAD +™ SYSTEM on the screwdriver is a quick
change chuck designed to accept any 1/4 in. hex bits. Insert
the bit into the chuck and push as far as possible until the
chuck locks onto the bit. To remove a bit, push rubber collar
forward, and then pull the bit straight out of the chuck.
