nOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not
recommended. It may damage the switch and should
be avoided.
nOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Worklight (Fig. A)
The worklight

is activated when the trigger switch is
depressed. If the trigger switch remains depressed, the
worklight will remain on.
nOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Performing an Application (Fig. A)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury,
ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly.
WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to a
complete standstill before changing the direction of rotation.
Prior to Performing Work
• Set the speed selector
6
• Install the appropriate bit or accessory into the chuck.
Refer to accessory installation instructions in this manual.
WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily combustible or
explosive fluids (benzine, alcohol, etc.).
• Do not mix or stir flammable liquids labeled accordingly.
Screwdriving
Your tool has a clutch with adjustable torque for driving
and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes. The
numbers 1–15 on the mode selection collar
set a torque range for screwdriving. The higher the number
on the collar, the higher the torque and the larger the
fastener which can be driven.
1. Turn the mode selection collar
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until the fastener is seated at the desired depth
in the workpiece.
Recommendations for screwdriving
• Start with lower torque settings, then advance to
higher torque settings to avoid damage to the workpiece
or fastener.
• Make some practice runs in scrap or on unseen areas
of the workpiece to determine the proper position of the
mode selection collar.
Drilling
1. Turn the mode selection collar
Refer to Mode Selection.
2. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
nOTE: Use sharp drill bit only.
3. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight line
with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden
twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the
twisting action and avoid injury.
4. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of
a drilled hole to prevent jamming.
. Refer to Speed Selection.

Recommendations for Drilling
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line with
the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or
deflect the bit.
• iF ThE DRill sTAlls:
‑ RElEAsE TRiggER sWiTCh iMMEDiATElY, remove drill
bit from work, and determine cause of stalling.
‑ DO nOT DEPREss TRiggER sWiTCh On AnD OFF in
An ATTEMPT TO sTART A sTAllED DRill—This CAn
DAMAgE ThE DRill.
‑ To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
• Large holes (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm to
4.8 mm]) is drilled first.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter, use a wood "back‑up" block to prevent damage to
the workpiece.
