Operating the drill
1.
Set the Direction Switch
for the
desired rotation of the bit or driver.
The direction switch is the sliding
switch located just above the trigger.
When looking down on the drill, push-
ing the switch all the way to the right
will give a counterclockwise rotation
(normally for loosening fasteners and
bits), all the way to the left will be
clockwise (normally for tightening fas-
teners and drilling holes). When the
switch is in the center position it locks
the switch to avoid accidentally start-
ing the drill.
2.
Set the Torque Setting Ring
located
just behind the chuck. This ring has
Fig 3.
Location of controls.
16 settings on it, and a pointer indica-
tor embossed on the drill case. Set on
1 for very light applications such as
driving screws into drywall. Use the
higher settings for denser woods and
materials. Use the drill bit symbol
when boring holes. Using the proper
torque setting will ensure that the fas-
tener is not driven too deeply damag-
ing the surface material, or in the
worst case, stripped out of the hole
due to over-torquing.
3.
Pull the trigger
to activate the drill.
This drill is variable speed from 0 -
900 RPM, therefore the more you pull
on the trigger, the faster the motor
and chuck will rotate.
