2. Select high speed (2) for fast drilling or driving
applications, for drilling in wood or masonry (Fig. 16).
m
CAUTION!
Never change speeds while the tool is
running. Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.
NOTE:
If you have difficulty changing from one speed range to
the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.
Adjusting Torque
Select the proper torque setting by aligning the adjustment ring
with the indicator arrow to suit the type of material and size of
screw you are using (Fig. 17).
• 1 - 4 For driving small screws
• 5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material
• 9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard materials
• 13 - 16 For driving screws into hard wood
• 17 - 20 For driving large screws
• 21 - 23 For heavy drilling
•
For heavy drilling
LED Light
The cordless drill/driver is equipped with an LED light to
provide additional lighting for operation in low light conditions.
The LED light will turn on when the trigger switch is pressed
(Fig. 18).
Drilling/Driving Screws
A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help keep
the drill bit level during use (Fig. 19).
1. Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
2.
Select low speed (1) or high speed (2), depending on your
application. Refer to Speed Settings and Adjusting Torque.
3. Secure the workpiece in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the bit rotates.
4.
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled, or where the screw is to be driven.
m
WARNING!
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to
be hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a “live” wire
will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and possibly
shock the operator. If you must drive a screw where hidden
wire may be present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to prevent a
shock to the operator.
5. Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
6.
Move the bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting or driving the screw.
Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole. Let the tool do the work.
