2 Speed gearbox
The 2 Speed Gearbox allows you
to select a gear with the optimum
speed and torque to suit the
application.
Note. When changing the
drill/driver selector ensure the
drill/driver is not operating.
To select the LOW gear
(low speed, high torque setting),
push the gear selector (3)
backward, towards the back of
the drill/driver. The word LO will be displayed. (Fig D)
To select the HIGH gear (high speed, low torque setting),
push the gear selector (3) forward, towards the chuck.
The word HI will be displayed. (Fig D)
Using the drill/driver
Trigger switch
Use the forward/reverse switch
(4) to select the direction of
rotation (Fig E), then pull the
trigger (9) (Fig F). This trigger
switch is an electronic variable
speed control which enables the
user to vary the speed continuously.
The speed varies according to how
far the trigger switch is depressed.
The further it is depressed the
faster the chuck will rotate and the
lighter it is depressed, the slower
it will rotate.
To stop the drill/driver, release
the trigger switch (9).
Note. The variable speed control fitted to this drill/driver is
NOT intended to be used for long periods of time during
the operation of the task being performed. Use the variable
speed to start drill/drivering and screwing tasks, and then
fully depress the trigger once the task has started.
CAUTION. Extended use of the variable speed under
load will overload and then permanently damage the
speed control.
Drill/driver Overload
This drill/driver is fitted with an overload protection. If the drill/
driver is excessively forced, or the task being performed is
too great for the drill/driver, the drill/driver will automatically
go into an overload mode. When the drill/driver goes into
overload, the drill/driver will automatically and suddenly
STOP. To reset the overload, simply release the trigger.
When the trigger is pressed again, the drill/driver will restart.
Resume work after the overload has been reset, but reduce
the load by using a smaller drill/driver bit or re-sharpen the
existing drill/driver bit and reduce the amount of force placed
on the drill/driver. If the drill/driver is set to High speed on the
gear selector, consider changing to low speed selection.
CAUTION. Do not continue to overload the drill/driver and
constantly reset the overload. Doing this will cause the
battery cells to over heat.
Temperature Cut Out
If the drill/driver is constantly overloaded, or the drill/driver
is used constantly at maximum rating in high ambient
conditions, the battery cells may overheat causing the
battery pack to shut down.
When this occurs you will need to immediately stop
drill/drivering and allow the battery cells to reduce the
temperature.
Note. The drill/driver will not restart until the battery pack has
cooled.
To reduce the temperature of the cells remove the battery
pack from the drill/driver and place the battery pack in a
free air environment, out of direct sunlight or any other heat
source.
DO NOT force cool the pack in any way. Do not place in
refrigerators or freezers.
When the battery pack has cooled down it can again be
used to operate the drill/driver, as long as the load or the
conditions causing the original excessive temperature has
been corrected.

The picture here shows the
gear selector forward so the
drill/driver is in High speed,
with the number 2 displayed.
