Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. Intended use The tool is intended for drilling and screw driving in wood, metal and plastic. [. . . ] This tool has a three-gear speed change lever. To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide the speed change lever to the "1" position for low speed, "2" position for medium speed or "3" position for high speed. Be sure that the speed change lever is set to the correct position before operation. nOTE: · When changing the position from "1" to "3" or from "3" to "1", it may be a little difficult to slide the speed change lever. At this time, switch on and run the tool for a second at the "2" position, then stop the tool and slide to your desired position. cAUTION: · Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct position. If you operate the tool with the speed change lever positioned halfway between the "1" position, "2" position and "3" position, the tool may be damaged. Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is running. Insert the side grip so that the protrusions on the grip base fit in between the grooves on the tool barrel. Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise. Fit the bit holder into the protrusion at the tool foot on either right or left side and secure it with a screw. When not using the driver bit, keep it in the bit holders. When changing the position from " " to " ", it may be a little difficult to slide the mode change lever. At this time, switch on and run the tool for a second at the " " position, then stop the tool and slide to your desired position. cAUTION: · Always slide the action mode change lever all the way to your desired mode position. If you operate the tool with the lever positioned halfway between the mode symbols, the tool may be damaged. Do not use the action mode change lever while the tool is running. This can be installed on either side of the tool. To install the hook, insert it into a groove in the tool housing on either side and then secure it with a screw. To remove, loosen the screw and then take it out. Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Start the tool slowly and then increase the speed gradually. [. . . ] The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece. [. . . ]
