WARNING
Always remove battery pack before
changing or removing accesso-
ries. Only use accessories specically recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
Installing Bits
Always remove the battery before inserting or remov-
ing bits. Select the proper style and size bit for the job.
This tool is equipped with a spindle lock. The chuck
can be tightened with one hand, creating higher grip
strengths on the bit.
1. To open the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
counterclockwise direction.
When using drill bits, allow the bit to strike the
bottom of the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck
jaws and lift it about 1/16" o of the bottom.
When using screwdriver bits, insert the bit far
enough for the chuck jaws to grip the hex of the bit.
2. To close the chuck jaws, turn the sleeve in the
clockwise direction. The bit is secure when the
chuck makes a ratcheting sound and the sleeve
can not be rotated any further.
3. To remove the bit, turn the sleeve in the counter-
clockwise direction.
NOTE: A ratcheting sound may be heard when the
chuck is opened or closed. This noise is part of the
locking feature, and does not indicate a problem with
the chuck’s operation.
OPERATION
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
Selecting Drill or Drive Action
(Cat. No. 2903-20)
1. To use the drilling mode, rotate
the torque selector collar until the
drill symbol appears in line
with the arrow.
2. To use the driving mode rotate
the torque selector collar until the
desired clutch setting appears in
line with the arrow.
The adjustable clutch, when
properly adjusted, will slip at a
preset torque to prevent driving
the screw too deep into dierent
materials and to prevent damage to the screw or
tool.
Selecting Hammer, Drill or Drive Action
(Cat. No. 2904-20 )
1. To use the hammer-drilling
mode, rotate the torque selector
collar until the hammer symbol
appears in line with the ar-
row. Apply pressure to the bit to
engage the hammering mecha-
nism.
NOTICE
When using carbide bits, do not use
water to settle dust. Do not attempt
to drill through steel reinforcing rods. This will
damage the carbide bits.
2. To use the drilling only mode,
rotate the torque selector collar
until the drill symbol appears
in line with the arrow.
3. To use the driving screws
mode, rotate the torque selector
collar until the desired clutch set-
ting appears in line with the
arrow.
The adjustable clutch, when
properly adjusted, will slip at a
preset torque to prevent driving the screw too deep
into dierent materials and to prevent damage to
the screw or tool.
The torque specications shown here are approximate
values obtained with a fully charged battery pack.

APPLICATIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling or driving screws.
Drilling
Place the bit on the work surface and apply rm pres-
sure before starting. Too much pressure will slow the
bit and reduce drilling eciency. Too little pressure
will cause the bit to slide over the work area and dull
the point of the bit.
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure slightly to
allow the bit to regain speed. If the bit binds, reverse
the motor to free the bit from the workpiece.
