The speed and torque of your drill can be increased by depressing the switch trigger. Note: Depress switch trigger all the way for maximum speed and torque of your drill. Depress switch trigger only part of the way for less speed and torque. Avoid running your drill at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause your drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool your drill by running it without a load and at full speed. The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications: Low speed is ideal when minimum speed and power is required. For example, starting holes without center punching, driving screws, mixing paint, and drilling in ceramics. Medium speed is suitable for drilling hard metals, plastics, and laminates. High speed produces best results when maximum power is required. For example, drilling in wood; soft metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, and when using driving accessories. 24 0-10 LOCK-ON SWITCH BUTTON TRIGGER TO INCREASE SPEED, Fig. 2 DEPRESS SWITCH TRIGGER LOCK-ON BUTTON See Figure 2.

EXTENSION CORDS The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. A wire gage size (A. W. G. ) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. [. . . ]
