gear shifter on the top of tool to match the speed and torque to
the plannedoperation.
Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you
would any drill bit. Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen
areas to determine the proper position of the clutchcollar.

and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and
personal injury may result. Always lock off trigger switch
when changingacces sories.
Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and
one hand holding the tool for maximumtightness.
Chuck Removal (Fig. E)
Turn the adjustment collar to the “drill” position and gear shifter
to position 1 (low speed). Tighten the chuck around the shorter
end of a hex key (not supplied) of 6.35 mm or greater size. Using
a wooden mallet or similar object, strike the longer end in the
clockwise direction, as shown. This will loosen the screw inside
thechuck.
Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if
required) into front of chuck between jaws to engage screw
head. Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread).
Place hex key in chuck and tighten, as shown in FigureE. Using
a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in the
counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck so that it
can be unscrewed byhand.
Chuck Installation (Fig.F)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go and insert screw
(left-hand thread). Tighten screw securely. Tighten the chuck
around the shorter end of a 6.35 mm or larger hex key (not
supplied) strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with
a wooden mallet, as shown. Tighten the screw once again by
turning in a counterclockwisedirection.
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (Fig.A,E,F)
Your tool features a keyless chuck
5
with one rotating sleeve for
one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit or other
accessory, follow thesesteps.
1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as previouslydescribed.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck
5
with one hand
and use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the
sleeve counterclockwise far enough to accept the
desiredaccessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm into the chuck and
tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise with
one hand while holding the tool with the other. Your tool is
equipped with an automatic spindle lock mechanism. This
allows you to open and close the chuck with onehand.
To release the accessory, repeat step 2above.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any
other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck
Worklight (Fig.A)
There is a worklight

located just above the trigger switch
1
.
The worklight is activated when the trigger switch is depressed.
When the trigger is released, the worklight will stay illuminated
for up to 20seconds.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
Dual Range Gearing (Fig.A)
The dual range feature of your drill/driver/hammerdrill allows
you to shift gears for greaterversatility.
1. To select speed 1(high torque setting), turn the tool off and
permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter
4
forward (towards
thechuck).
2. To select speed 2(low torque setting), turn the tool off and
permit it to stop. Slide the gear shifter back (away from
thechuck).
NOTE: Do not change gears when the tool is running. Always
allow the drill to come to a complete stop before changing
gears. If you are having trouble changing gears, make sure that
the dual range gear shifter is either completely pushed forward
or completely pushedback.
Torque Adjustment Collar (Fig.A)
Your tool has an adjustable torque screwdriver mechanism for
driving and removing a wide array of fastener shapes and sizes
and in some models, a hammer mechanism for drilling into
masonry. Circling the torque adjustment collar
3
are numbers,
a drill bit symbol, and on some models, a hammer symbol.
These numbers are used to set the clutch to deliver a torque
range. The higher the number on the collar, the higher the
torque and the larger the fastener which can be driven. To select
any of the numbers, rotate until the desired number aligns with
thearrow.
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.
