ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH
Your tool features 19 clutch settings. Output torque will increase as the clutch ring, is rotated from 1 to
18. The drill position will lock up the clutch to permit drilling and driving heavy duty work, and also
enables bits to be changed quickly and easily in the keyless chuck.
CAUTION: Before actual operation, drive a trial screw into your material or a piece of
duplicate material to determine which torque level is required for a particular application.
The fastening torque can be adjusted in 19 steps by turning the adjusting ring so that its graduations are
aligned with the pointer on the tool body. The fastening torque is minimum when the number 1 is aligned
with the pointer, and maximum when the marking is aligned with the pointer.
The clutch will slip at various torque levels when set at the number 1 to 19. The clutch is designed not to
slip at the marking.
BRAKE
When the trigger switch is released it activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is especially
useful in the repetitive driving and removal of screws.
SPEED CHANGE LEVER
To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide the speed change lever to the “H” side for high
speed or "L" side for low speed. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to the correct position before
operation. Use the right speed for your job.
WARRNING: Always set the speed change lever fully to
the correct position. If you operate the tool with the speed
change lever positioned halfway between the "L" side and
"H" side, the tool may be damaged. Do not use the speed
change lever while the tool is running. The tool may be damaged.
OPERATING TIPS
You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with the work
before pulling the trigger. During the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too
much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and cause
excess friction by sliding over the surface. This can be damaging to both tool and bit.
Drilling with variable speed
The trigger controlled variable speed feature will eliminate the need for center punches in hard materials.
The variable speed trigger allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a slow starting speed, you are
able to keep the bit from “wandering”. You can increase the speed as the bit “bites” into the work by
squeezing the trigger.
