6. Operating Instructions
Familiarize yourself with the controls and features before operating the tool.
6.1. Powering On/Off
The tool is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed is variable depending on how far the trigger is pressed.
6.2. Forward and Reverse Switching
A switch located above the trigger allows you to select forward (clockwise rotation) or reverse (counter-clockwise rotation) for driving or removing fasteners. Ensure the switch is in the neutral (locked) position when not in use to prevent accidental starting.
6.3. Speed Adjustment (Mechanical Two-Speed)
The drill driver has a mechanical two-speed adjustment mechanism. A switch on top of the tool allows you to select between low speed (0-440 RPM) for high torque applications and high speed (0-1650 RPM) for faster drilling.
6.4. Torque Settings (21+1)
The torque collar allows you to adjust the clutch to prevent over-driving screws or damaging materials. There are 21 torque settings plus a drill mode (indicated by a drill bit icon) for maximum torque without clutch engagement.
6.5. Work Area Lighting
An integrated LED light illuminates the work area when the trigger is pressed, improving visibility in dimly lit spaces.
6.6. Spindle Brake
The spindle brake feature quickly stops the chuck rotation when the trigger is released, allowing for faster bit changes and increased control.
6.7. Battery Level Display
The tool features a battery level display, typically a series of LED lights, to indicate the remaining charge of the battery pack.
