6. Operating

6.1. Powering On/Off and Variable Speed

The drill is activated by pressing the variable speed trigger. The speed increases as you press the trigger further. Release the trigger to turn the drill off. The integrated LED light will illuminate when the trigger is pressed.

6.2. Adjusting Torque Settings

The torque collar allows you to select from 16 torque settings for driving screws, plus a drill mode and a hammer drill mode. Rotate the collar to align the desired setting with the indicator mark. Lower settings are for smaller screws and softer materials, while higher settings are for larger screws and harder materials. The drill mode (drill icon) is for general drilling, and the hammer drill mode (hammer icon) is for drilling into masonry.

6.3. Changing Speeds (Gear Selector)

The 2-speed gear selector switch is located on top of the drill. Position 1 provides lower speed and higher torque, ideal for driving screws and drilling large holes. Position 2 provides higher speed and lower torque, suitable for drilling small holes and general drilling applications.

6.4. Drilling and Driving
