VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the maximum
nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to
the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease
speed. This accurate speed control enables
you to drill without center punching. It also
permits you to use as a power screwdriver.
Bits are available for driving screws as well as
running bolts and nuts.
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
After tool use, lock trigger in
W RNING
"OFF" position to help prevent
accidental starts and accidental discharge.
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located above
the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed for
changing rotation of the bit, and for locking the
trigger in an "OFF" position.
For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away
from you) move the lever to the far left.
For reverse rotation move the lever to the far
right. To activate trigger lock move lever to the
center off position.

rotation until the tool comes
to a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of
the chuck can cause damage to the tool.
ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 21 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the clutch ring, is
rotated from 1 to 20. The drill "
will lock up the clutch to permit drilling and
driving heavyduty work, and also enables bits
to be changed quickly and easily in the keyless
chuck.
When the trigger switch is released it activates
the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is
especially useful in the repetitive driving and
removal of screws.
GEAR SHIFTING
Your tool is equipped with two separate gear
ranges, Hi-torque and High-speed. Hi-torque
provides high-torque and slower drilling
speeds for heavy duty work or for driving
screws. High-speed provides faster speeds for
