until the drill symbol
appears
in line with the arrow.
3. To use the driving screws mode
rotate torque selector collar until
the desired clutch setting appears

too deep into different materials
and to prevent damage to the screw or tool.
The torque specications shown here are approximate
values obtained with a fully charged battery pack.

the different clutch settings before driving screws
into the workpiece.
Selecting Speed
The speed selector is on top of the motor housing.
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop before
changing speeds. See “Applications” for recom-
mended speeds under various conditions.
1. For Low speed, push the
speed selector to display
“1”.
2. For High speed, push the
speed selector to display
“2”.
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be set to three positions:
forward, reverse and lock. Due to a lockout mecha-
nism, the control switch can only be adjusted when
the ON/OFF switch is not pressed. Always allow the
motor to come to a complete stop before using the
control switch.

rotation, push in the con-
trol switch from the right
side of the tool. Check the
direction of rotation be-
fore use.
2. For reverse (counter-
clockwise) rotation, push in the control switch
from the left side of the tool. Check direction of
rotation before use.
3. To lock the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. The trigger will not work while the
control switch is in the center locked position.
Always remove the battery pack before performing
maintenance or changing accessories. Always
lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before
storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
OPERATION
WARNING
Always remove battery pack before
changing or removing accesso-
ries. Only use accessories specically recom-
mended for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Fuel Gauge
To determine the amount of charge left in the bat-
tery, pull the trigger. The Fuel Gauge will light up for
2-3 seconds.
To signal the end of charge, 1 light on the fuel gauge
will ash for 2-3 seconds.
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” off 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.
Selecting Drill or Drive Action
(Cat. No. 2503-20)
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 different materials and to
prevent damage to the screw or
tool.
Selecting Hammer, Drill or Drive Action
(Cat. No. 2504-20)
1. To use the hammer-drilling
mode, rotate the torque selector
collar until the hammer symbol
appears in line with the arrow. Ap-
ply pressure to the bit to engage
the hammering mechanism.
NOTE: 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.
