NOTE: The locking mechanism will not function if the upper part of trigger is
depressed (reverse operation). Do not lock the switch on when drilling by
hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the
hole. The locking feature is for use when the drill is mounted in a drill stand
or otherwise firmly held- NOT BY HAND.
Be sure to release the switch locking button before disconnecting the plug
from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the tool to start
immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.
Chuck
To insert bit, open chuck jaws by turning collar with fingers and insert
shank of bit about 3/4" into chuck. Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place chuck
key in each of the three holes and tighten in clockwise direction. It’s
important to tighten chuck with all three holes.
To release bit, turn chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then
loosen the chuck by hand.
Chuck Key Holder
May be installed already.
1. Push double hole end of holder through slot in other end of holder as
shown in Figure 3.
2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw loop tight around cord.
3. Push ends of chuck key handle through two holes in end of holder.
Chuck Removal
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2. Place chuck key in chuck as shown in Figure 4.
3. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in a
clockwise direction. This will loosen screw inside chuck (Figure 4).

TOOL OPERATION
Spade Handle
The spade handle can be attached either horizontally or vertically. Place the
handle into the locating boss on the back of the drill and assemble with
holding knob (Figure 1).
Side Handle
The side handle screws into the top or either side of the drill for added
control (Figure 1).
CAUTION: Always use and hold firmly the side handle or spade handle. This is
a high-torque drill- always hold it with both hands when operating.
Switch
(Figure 2) Pressing the top part of the rocker switch runs the tool in reverse.
Pressing the bottom part of the switch runs the tool in a forward direction.
Always let the motor stop completely before changing direction.
To lock trigger in forward position, depress lower part of trigger and push up
lock button (Figure 2). Then, while holding lock button in position, gently
release trigger. To release locking mechanism, depress trigger fully, then
release it.
