Using the drill
Trigger switch
Use the forward/reverse switch (3) to select the direction
of rotation, then pull the trigger (2). 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, release the trigger switch.
Note. The variable speed control fitted to this drill 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 drilling 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.
Forward/reverse switch
Note. You can only change
the direction of rotation of the
drill using the forward/reverse
switch when the trigger is NOT
depressed.
This switch (3) will allow you to
change the direction of the motor
while the trigger switch is not
depressed.
Drilling uses the forward mode. The reverse mode is
intended for the removal of screws and assisting to remove
jammed drill bits.
Adjustable torque
This drill is equipped with 17
torque settings plus one drill
setting which are controlled
by the torque collar (6). All of
the torque settings are clearly
identified on the torque collar.
To adjust the torque setting you
rotate the torque collar. Rotate
the torque collar to a higher number to increase the torque
setting and rotate it to a lower number to decrease the
torque setting.
Controlling the torque allows for better control when using
the drill on specific tasks and prevents over-fastening and
over-tightening of screws and fasteners.
For drilling, always use the use
the Drill position by aligning the
Drill symbol with the triangular
indicator on the front face of the
drill near the torque collar.
For setting the torque position,
select a low setting on the
torque collar and align the
selected symbol with the
triangular indicator on the top of the drill. Increase gradually
to set the correct torque. It is better to use a scrap piece of
material if possible to set the torque.
