Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 3, page 11.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck
with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other hand.
The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate
the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK
(release) the drill bit.
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.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 4, page 11.
The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on
top of the drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When
using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease
and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill
in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase and unit will
have less power and torque. Use LO (1) speed for high power
and torque applications and HI (2) speed for fast drilling or
driving applications.
