Installing Drill Bits/Accessories

1. Ensure the drill is off and the battery pack is removed.
2. Grasp the rear portion of the chuck with one hand and rotate the front portion counter-clockwise until the chuck jaws are open wider than the bit you intend to use.
3. Insert the drill bit or accessory into the chuck. Ensure it is centered.
4. Rotate the front portion of the chuck clockwise to tighten the jaws securely around the bit. Hand-tighten firmly.

Operating Instructions

Variable Speed Trigger

The drill/driver features a variable speed trigger. Pressing the trigger further increases the speed. Release the trigger to stop the tool.

Forward/Reverse Selector

The forward/reverse selector 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). Center position locks the trigger for safety.

Torque Adjustment Collar

The torque adjustment collar allows you to select the desired torque setting for driving screws. Higher numbers indicate higher torque. The drill setting is for drilling applications.

Drilling

1. Select the appropriate drill bit for the material.
2. Set the torque collar to the drill symbol.
3. Hold the drill firmly and position the bit on the workpiece.
4. Start drilling at a low speed and gradually increase as the bit engages the material.
5. Maintain steady pressure and keep the drill straight.

Driving Screws

1. Select the appropriate driver bit.
2. Set the torque collar to a suitable setting for the screw size and material. Start with a lower setting and increase if needed to prevent stripping.
3. Position the driver bit firmly into the screw head.
4. Apply steady, even pressure and slowly press the trigger to start driving the screw.
