VARIABLE SPEED
This tool has a variable speed switch that delivers higher
speed and torque with increased trigger pressure. 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 12.
Your drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling
or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is
located on top of your drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2)
speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed
will decrease and unit will have more power and torque.
When using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed wili
increase and unit will have less power and torque. Use
LO (1) speed for high power and torque applications and
HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.

direction is reversed when the selector Is to the right of
the switch. When the selector is in center position, the
switch trigger is locked.
