4. To use the Mode Selector
buttons, rotate the application
selector collar until the wireless
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 this mode.
Hammer-drilling is not available in this mode.
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before
changing modes. Press the selector button

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 con-
trol switch from the right
side of the tool. Check
the direction of rotation
before use.
For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the
control switch from the left side of the tool. Check
direction of rotation 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.
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
always hold or brace securely.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
1. To start the tool, grasp the handles firmly and pull
the trigger.
NOTE: An LED is turned on when the trigger is
pulled.
2. To vary the speed, increase or decrease the pres-
sure 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.

Place the bit on the work surface and apply firm pres-
sure before starting. Too much pressure will slow the
bit and reduce drilling efficiency. 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.

Drilling in Wood, Composition
Setting 4
When drilling in wood, composition materials and

plastic, select the

Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as
you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers
or twist drill bits. Always use sharp bits. When using
twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to
clear chips from the bit flutes. To reduce the chance of
splintering, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Se-
lect low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
When drilling in metal, select the
ating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills or hole
saws. Use a center punch to start the hole. Lubricate
drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel.
Use a coolant when drilling in nonferrous metals such
as copper, brass or aluminum. Back the material
to prevent binding and distortion on breakthrough.
When drilling in masonry, select the
drill operating mode. Use high speed carbide-
tipped bits. Drilling soft masonry materials such
Reverse
as cinder block requires little pressure. Hard
materials like concrete require more pressure.
A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper
drilling rate. Do not let the bit spin in the hole
without cutting. Do not use water to settle dust or
to cool bit. Both actions will damage the carbide.
Driving Screws and Nut Running
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard
materials. Select the
the torque selector collar to the proper position and
set the speed to low. Use the proper style and size
screwdriver bit for the type of screw you are using.
With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place the tip of
the screw on the workpiece and apply firm pressure
before pulling the trigger. Screws can be removed
by reversing the motor.
Continuous overloading may cause permanent dam-
age to tool or battery pack.
