Performing an Application (Fig.A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clampedfirmly.

WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the direction
ofrotation.
Prior to Performing Work
• Set the speed selector
4
. Refer to SpeedSelection.
Worklight (Fig.A)
The worklight
5
is activated when the trigger switch is
depressed, and will automatically turn off 20seconds after
the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch remains
depressed, the worklight will remainon.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
Variable Speed Trigger and Forward/
Reverse Control Button (Fig.A)
The tool is turned on and off by pulling and releasing the
variable speed trigger
1
. The farther the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the tool. Your tool is equipped with
a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger switch is
fullyreleased.
A forward/reverse control button
2
determines the
rotational direction of the tool and also serves as a
lock-offbutton.
• To select forward rotation (clockwise), release the trigger
and depress the forward/reverse control button on the
right side of thetool.
• To select reverse (counterclockwise), depress the
forward/reverse control button on the left side of
thetool.
NOTE: The center position of the control button locks the
tool in the off position. When changing the position of the
control button, be sure the trigger isreleased.
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
beavoided.
NOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is
normal and does not indicate aproblem.
Proper Hand Position (Fig.G)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
suddenreaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main
handle
10
and the other hand holding the battery pack
8
.
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck.
Refer to accessory installation instructions in thismanual.

WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily
combustible or explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol,etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids
labeledaccordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–15 on the mode selection collar
3
are used to
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can bedriven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
3
to the desiredposition.
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired
depth in theworkpiece.
Recommendations for Screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to higher
torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
orfastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selectioncollar.
Drilling
IMPORTANT: For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder
block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonrybits.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
3
to the drillsymbol.
Refer to ModeSelection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with theworkpiece.
NOTE: Use sharp drill bitonly.
3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until it reaches the desireddepth.

WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill
firmly to control the twisting action and avoidinjury.
4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of
a drilled hole to preventjamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect thebit.
• IF THE DRILL STALLS:
‑ RELEASE TRIGGER SWITCH IMMEDIATELY,
remove drill bit from work, and determine cause
ofstalling.
‑ DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER SWITCH ON AND OFF
IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL—
THIS CAN DAMAGE THEDRILL.
‑ To minimize stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of thehole.
To remove the battery pack from the tool, press the release
button
7
and firmly pull the battery pack out of the tool
handle. Insert it into the charger as described in the charger
section of thismanual.
