4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Selecting Operating Mode and Torque

The drill features an 18+1+1 clutch system, allowing you to select between screwdriving, drilling, and hammer drilling modes.

1. Screwdriver Mode (1-18 Torque Settings): Rotate the torque adjustment ring to select a setting from 1 to 18. Lower numbers are for smaller screws and softer materials, while higher numbers are for larger screws and harder materials. This prevents overdriving screws.
2. Drill Mode (Drill Icon): Rotate the ring to the drill icon for general drilling into wood, plastic, and metal without impact.
3. Hammer Drill Mode (Hammer Icon): Rotate the ring to the hammer icon for drilling into masonry, brick, and concrete with impact action.

4.2 Variable Speed Control

The drill offers two mechanical speed settings and a variable speed trigger.

1. Speed Selector Switch: Located on top of the drill, slide it to position '1' for low speed (0-400 RPM) and high torque, ideal for screwdriving. Slide it to position '2' for high speed (0-1500 RPM) and lower torque, suitable for drilling.
2. Variable Speed Trigger: The trigger allows for fine control over the speed. Pressing the trigger lightly results in lower speed, while pressing it fully increases the speed to the maximum selected by the speed selector switch.

4.3 Forward/Reverse Switch

The forward/reverse switch is located above the trigger. Push it to the left for forward rotation (drilling/driving) and to the right for reverse rotation (removing screws/bits). Position it in the center to lock the trigger and prevent accidental starting.
