NOTE: If you have difficulty changing from one gear range to
the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.
CAUTION:
Never change gears while the tool is running. Failure to
obey this caution could result in serious damage to the
drill.
QUICK MODE SELECTOR
See Figures 6 - 7, page 15.
The Quick Mode Selector allows you to quickly switch from
drill mode to drive mode.
In general, drill mode should be used for drilling and other
OPERATION
heavy duty applications. Drive mode should be used for
driving screws. Hammer mode should be used for hammer
drilling.

TORQUE ADJUSTMENT
See Figure 8, page 15.
When using the drill-driver for various driving applications,
it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the torque
in order to help prevent the possibility of damaging screw
heads, threads, workpiece, etc. In general, torque intensity
should correspond to the screw diameter. If the torque is too
high or the screws too small, the screws may be damaged
or broken.
The torque is adjusted by rotating the torque adjustment
ring.
The torque is greater when the torque adjustment ring is
set on a higher setting. The torque is less when the torque
adjustment ring is set on a lower setting.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.
BIT STORAGE
See Figure 9, page 15.
When not in use, bits provided with the drill can be placed
in the storage areas located on the base of the drill.
MAG TRAY™
See Figure 10, page 15.
The magnetic tray conveniently stores screws or other small
parts.
MAGNETIC BIT HOLDER
See Figure 10, page 15.
The magnetic bit holder extends the reach of the bit and holds
the bit and screws until you are ready to drive them. Storage
for the bit holder is located on the front of the tool’s base.
