Keyless Chuck (Fig. G)

WARNING: Make certain the battery pack is removed
to prevent tool actuation before installing or
removing accessories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the keyless chuck
counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the
chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and
tighten securely by rotating the chuck in the clockwise
direction as viewed from the chuck end.

WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten or loosen drill
bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front
part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage
to the chuck and personal injury may occur when
changing accessories.

Drilling (Fig. H)
NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-
up" block to prevent damage to the material.

WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill
firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear
shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned
operation. Turn the torque adjust collar
drill symbol.
2. Use sharp drill bits only.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side
handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one
hand on the battery pack.
5. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being
overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and
determine cause of stalling. DO NOT depress TRIGGER
ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
DRILL–THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5 and rotate it in the

6. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the
last fractional part of the hole.
7. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out
of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.

Screwdriving (Fig. I)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the
planned operation.
2. Turn the torque adjustment collar
desired position.
nOTE: Use the lowest torque setting required to
seat the fastener at the desired depth. The lower the
number, the lower the torque output.
3. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as
you would any drill bit.
4. Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas of
the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
torque adjustment collar.
5. Always start with lower torque settings, then advance
to higher torque settings to avoid damage to the
workpiece or fastener.
