DIRECTION OF ROTATION

The direction control switch is used to alter
the direction of  rotation of the drill.

1

The direction of rotation is selected by
moving the directional control switch to
either side of the drill.

2

Reverse direction should only be used
for removing screws.

WARNING!

The directional control switch can also be used as the safety locked
off button to lock the trigger switch in the OFF position when the drill
is not being used or adjustments are being made to the speed or
torque settings. This is an important safety feature and must be
observed.

TORQUE ADJUSTMENT

The drill is fitted with a torque setting ring to vary the amount of torque
produced when drilling or screwdriving.

1

Select the setting by rotating the torque setting ring to align with the
torque setting indicator.

2

When the   symbol is selected, the clutch is designed not to slip and
therefore most drilling applications should be performed on this setting.

3

To select the correct torque setting for screwdriving, first set the torque
setting ring to position 1.

4

Fit and tighten the first screw, if the clutch starts to ratchet before the
screw is correctly seated, rotate the setting ring to a higher number until
the clutch ratchets only when the head of the screw is flush with the
surface of the material.

5

The settings are provided to vary the amount of torque available to seat
screws of different sizes in a variety of materials.

CAUTION!

Do not adjust the torque setting while the chuck is rotating.
