Operating Procedures - ITC SCT512 Mode D'emploi

OPERATING PROCEdURES

VARIABLE SPEED
= You can vary the spindle rotation speed by modulating finger pressure on the trigger.
= Speed can also be adjusted by using the high or low speed ranges (moving the sliding Gear selector switch at the
top of the drill to 2 or 1). When the 1 is visible, the drill is in low gear. When the 2 is visible, high gear is engaged.
Operate this switch only when the chuck is stopped.
ROTATION DIRECTION
Your drill is equipped with a 3-position Forward/Reverse/Lock button (L, in the Functional Description) through the
housing above the trigger. When knob is pushed toward the right, rotation is forward (clockwise). When pushed in from
the right to the left side, rotation is reversed (counter-clockwise), and when in centre position, it is locked in neutral and
the trigger is blocked. Do not push the rotation direction knob until the chuck stops turning.
TORQUE REGULATION
This is done with the Clutch selection ring attached to the Torque selection scale, a 21 position dial situated just before
the chuck. When the indicator arrow points to 1, torque is at minimum before the clutch disengages the chuck from the
drive; when indicator is at 20, output is at maximum before it is disengaged. This is useful in driving screws into different
types of material. More torque will set a screw deeper into material, less torque will prevent it stripping. Larger screws
require more torque to drive than small ones. A little trial and error will show you which is the optimum setting for the
situation.
= Release the trigger when the clicking sound indicates the chuck will not turn further.
= For drilling, always use the drill setting, indicated on the Clutch selection ring by a pictogram of a drill bit. At this
setting, the drive does not disengage from the chuck.
BATTERY PACK
1. Battery must be charged before using drill for first time. Batteries will reach full performance after about five charge/
discharge cycles.
2. Always have rotation switch in neutral position when removing or inserting battery to avoid unintentional starting.
3. To remove battery pack, press in the 2 Battery lock/release tabs on both sides of the battery and pull the battery
straight down and out.
4. To insert, simply push pack in until the Battery lock/release tabs click.
5. To charge, plug the charger's AC input plug into a 120V household current. The step of the battery pack has positive
and negative terminal marking on it. Align these with the identical markings on the top of the charger base and insert
pack into base (Pack will not insert properly if reversed)
6. If, when you first insert the battery, the red "ON" light does not come on, press the "SET" button on the charger.
When battery is charging, red light is on. When battery is finished charging, the charger turns "OFF" and a green light
comes on.
7. Normal charging time is approximately 1 hour.
8. When charging more than one pack in succession, allow 15 minutes between charges.
9. The battery discharges slowly over time, even when not used, and may require recharging before you use the tool.
10. After many charge/discharge cycles, your batteries will lose their ability to hold a charge. They should then be
replaced. Dispose of batteries at an appropriate waste disposal facility. They contain cadmium, so do not throw
batteries away in common trash receptacles.
KEYLESS CHUCK
= Centre the Forward/Reverse/Lock button to prevent the motor accidentally starting.
= Note there are two rings on the chuck. Turning the endmost knurled ring of the chuck (D, Chuck-opening ring)
clockwise by hand while with the other hand, holding the second ring (E, Shaft control ring) to prevent the motor
turning; closes the jaws of the chuck. Turning the Chuck-opening ring counter-clockwise opens the jaws.
= Open the jaws to accept a bit and then close the jaws so they clamp the bit tightly.
