Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off and Variable Speed Control
The drill is activated by pressing the trigger switch. The speed is variable, meaning the harder you press the trigger, the faster the chuck rotates (0-700 RPM).

2. Forward/Reverse Switch
The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (drilling/driving screws in) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws/bits). Ensure the switch is in the neutral (middle) position when not in use to prevent accidental starting.
3. Torque Adjustment
The torque adjustment collar allows you to select the amount of torque applied. Higher settings are for driving larger screws or drilling into harder materials. Lower settings prevent over-driving screws or damaging delicate materials. The drill delivers 309 In-lbs Max. Torque.
4. Using the LED Work Light
The built-in LED work light automatically illuminates when the trigger is pressed, providing enhanced visibility in dark or poorly lit work environments.
