VARIABLE SPEED
This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher
speed and torque with increased triggerpressure. Speed
is controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.
Note: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from
the switch during use. Do not be concerned, this is a
normal part of the switch function.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 3.
Your drill has a two-speed gear train designed for
drilling or driving at HI or LO speeds. A slide switch is
located on top of your drill to select either HI or LO
speed. When using drill in the HI speed range, speed
will increase and unit will have less power and torque.
When using drill in the LO speed range, speed will
decrease and unit will have more power and torque.
Use HI speed for fast drilling or driving applications
and LO speed for high power and torque applications.
