ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear
provides high-torque and slower drilling
speeds for heavy duty work or for driving
screws. High gear provides faster speeds for
drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide

running, but the chuck will not turn, check to
make sure the gear shifting switch is pushed
fully into desired setting.

Your tool features 26 clutch settings. Output
torque will increase as the clutch ring, is
