OPERATION
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your
side, when installing or removing the battery pack,
and when installing or removing bits.
LED LIGHT
See Figure 2, page 8.
The LED light, located above the switch trigger, illuminates
when the switch trigger is depressed.
If the tool is not in use, the time-out feature will cause the
light to start fading and then shut off.
The LED light illuminates only when there is a charged battery
pack in the tool.
If the LED light flashes during operation, this indicates a low
battery charge condition. The tool will still operate normally,
but the battery should be recharged soon to prevent
shutdown of the tool.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3, page 8.
 To install, lock the switch trigger and insert the battery
pack.
 Make sure the latch on the back of the battery pack snaps
in place and that battery pack is secured in the product
before beginning operation.
 To remove, depress the latch.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 4 - 5, page 8.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body to tighten or release the drill bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
 To install bits, lock the switch trigger.
 Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly
larger than the bit size you intend to use.
 Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the
chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck
jaws at an angle, then tighten. This could cause
the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in
possible serious personal injury or damage to the
chuck.
Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand.
With your other hand, rotate the chuck body to close and
tighten the chuck jaws.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use
the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on
the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand,
or your hand could slip and come in contact with
the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury.
To remove bits, lock the switch trigger and open the chuck
jaws.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 6, page 8.
 Select LO (1) speed for applications requiring higher
power and torque.
 Select HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.
NOTICE:
Never change speeds while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 6, page 8.
Rotate the adjustment ring to the proper torque setting for
the type of material and size of screw you are using.
• 1 - 3 For driving small screws
• 4 - 7 For driving screws into soft material
• 8 - 11 For driving screws into soft and hard materials
• 12 - 15 For driving screws into hard wood
• 16 - 17 For driving large screws
• For heavy drilling
DRILLING/DRIVING SCREWS
See Figure 7, page 8.
 Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
 Use LO (1) speed for high torque applications and HI
(2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications. Refer to
Two-Speed Gear Train and Adjusting Torque.
