VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the
maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more
pressure to increase the speed and release
pressure to decrease speed. This accurate
speed control enables you to drill without
center punching. It also permits you to use
as a power screwdriver. Bits are available for
driving screws as well as running bolts and
nuts (Fig. 1).
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a
forward/reversing lever and
trigger lock located above the
trigger (Fig. 2). This lever was
designed for changing rotation
of the chuck, and for locking
the trigger in an "OFF" position
to help prevent accidental
starts and accidental battery
discharge. For forward rotation,
(with chuck pointed away from
you) move the lever to the far
right. For reverse rotation move
the lever to the far left. To activate trigger
lock move lever to the center off position.

drilling speeds for heavy duty work or for
driving screws.
High gear provides faster speeds for drilling
lighter work.
Changing gears: Change gear position only
with the motor at a complete standstill. To
change gears rotate the gear selection lever.
If you have difficulties changing from one gear
to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the
gears engage (Fig. 1).
AUXILIARY HANDLE
The tool must be supported with the
auxiliary handle, which can be swiveled 360˚.
To reposition and/or swivel the handle,
loosen the hand grip, move the handle to the
desired position along the barrel and
securely retighten the hand grip (Fig. 1).
DEPTH GAUGE
Your drilling depth can be pre-set and/or
repeated by using the depth gauge.
Setting depth: After the auxiliary handle is
installed, slide the depth gauge to desired
depth and securely tighten wing knob.
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.
