complete standstill before changing the direction of rotation.
Prior to Performing Work
Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck. Refer
to Installing a Bit or Accessory into a Keyless Chuck.
WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily combustible or
explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol, etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids labeled accordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–15 on the mode selection collar
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can be driven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired depth
in the workpiece.
Recommendations for screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to
higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
or fastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas
of the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selection collar.
Drilling
iMPORTAnT: For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder
block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonry bits.
