of serious personal injury, place
the forward/reverse button in
the lock-off position or turn tool

before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 1, 8)
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 (i).
Variable Speed Trigger Switch
(fi g. 1)
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (a).
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. Your
tool is equipped with a brake. The chuck will stop
when the trigger switch is fully released.
The variable speed switch enables you to select
the best speed for a particular application. The
further you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool
will operate. For maximum tool life, use variable
speed only for starting holes or fasteners
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is
not recommended. It may damage the switch and
should be avoided.
Forward/Reverse Control
Button (fi g. 1)
A forward/reverse control button (b) determines the
direction of the tool and also serves as a lock-off
button.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch
and depress the forward/reverse control button on
the right side of the tool.
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse
control button on the left side of the tool. 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: 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.
Worklight (fi g. 1)
There is a worklight (h) located under the torque
adjustment collar (c). The worklight will be
activated when the trigger switch is squeezed.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate
work surface and is not intended to be used as
a flashlight.
Torque Adjustment Collar
(fi g. 1)
The torque adjustment collar (c) is clearly marked
with numbers and a drill bit symbol.The collar should
be rotated until the desired setting is located at the
top of the tool. Locators are provided in the collar to
eliminate the guess work when selecting fastening
torque. The higher the number on the collar, the
higher the torque and the larger the fastener
which can be driven. To lock the clutch for drilling
operations, move to the drill bit position.
NOTE: When using the drill/driver for drilling holes,
be sure that the torque adjusting collar is set so the
figure of the drill is aligned with the center line on the
top of the tool. Failure to do this will allow the clutch
to slip while attempting to drill.
Dual Range Gearing (fi g. 1, 4)
The dual range feature of your driver/drill allows you
to shift gears for greater versatility.
To select the low speed, high torque setting, turn
the tool off and permit to stop. Slide the gear shifter
(d) forward (towards the chuck). To select the high
speed, low torque setting, turn the tool off and permit
to stop. Slide the gear shifter back (away from
chuck).
NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is
running. If you are having trouble changing gears,
make sure that the dual range gear shifter is either
completely pushed forward or completely pushed
back.
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck
(fi g. 5)
Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating
sleeve for one-handed operation of the chuck. To
insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these
steps.
