5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Powering On/Off and Direction Control

• Power On: Press the power switch to start the drill. The speed is variable depending on how much you press the switch.
• Power Off: Release the power switch.
• Forward/Reverse: Use the reverse switch located above the power switch to select the rotation direction. Push it left for forward rotation (drilling/driving) and right for reverse rotation (removing screws). Ensure the switch is in the center position to lock the trigger and prevent accidental starting.

5.2. Speed Settings

The drill offers two speed settings for different applications.

• Low Speed (0-450 RPM): Ideal for driving screws, larger drilling diameters, or applications requiring higher torque and more control.
• High Speed (0-1450 RPM): Suitable for smaller drilling diameters and tasks requiring faster rotation.

5.3. Torque (Clutch) Settings

The 25 clutch settings allow you to adjust the torque output, preventing over-driving screws or damaging delicate materials.

• Wood: Use wood-specific drill bits. Start with a pilot hole for larger screws or to prevent splitting.
• Metal: Use metal-specific drill bits. Apply light pressure and use a slower speed to prevent overheating the bit. Use cutting oil for harder metals.
• PVC: Use standard drill bits. Apply steady, light pressure to avoid cracking the material.
• Always secure the workpiece to prevent movement during drilling.
