drill.
INSERTING AND REMOVING
ACCESSORIES
(Models 23609, 23612, 23614 & 23618 only)
To avoid loss of control,
ensure bit is locked in chuck
by pulling on bit after it has been inserted.
The chuck accepts only standard 1/4"
hexagonal shank accessories with power
groove.
Your tool is equipped with a quick release
chuck. To insert an accessory, simply pull
locking sleeve forward, insert desired
accessory into chuck and release locking
sleeve (Fig. 2).
To remove an accessory, pull locking sleeve
forward and simply remove it from the chuck.
Do not use this tool as a drill. Tools equipped
with shut-off clutches are not designed for
drilling applications. The clutch can shut off
automatically and without warning. Attempting
to restart drilling after shut-off has been
reached can cause the tool to twist out of your
hand until the clutch again reaches shut-off.
Do not attempt to insert quick-change type drill
bits into this chuck.
INSERTING AND REMOVING
ACCESSORIES
(Models 22612, 22614 & 22618 only)
Attach only high quality accessories with the
proper size square drive designed for use with
impact wrenches.
Your impact wrench is equipped with a 1/2"
square drive.
To install a socket, simply push completely
onto output drive. To remove, pull off output
drive (Fig. 3).
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED 
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be
controlled from the minimum to the maximum
nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to
the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase
the speed and release pressure to decrease
speed (Fig. 1).
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located above
the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed
for changing rotation of the chuck, and for
locking the trigger in an “OFF” position to help
prevent accidental starts and accidental
battery discharge. For forward rotation, (with
chuck pointed away from you) move the lever
to the far left. For reverse rotation move the
lever to the far right. To activate trigger lock
move lever to the center off position.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool
comes to a complete stop. Shifting during
rotation of the chuck can cause damage to
the tool.
BELT CLIP (Optional Accessory)
When the tool is attached to
the belt, position yourself to
avoid entanglement with surrounding objects.
Unexpected entanglement could cause the
tool to fall resulting in injury to the operator or
bystanders.
