chuck, and tighten securely by holding the
rear half of the chuck and rotating the front
portion in the clockwise direction as viewed

Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or
any other accessory) by gripping the front part
of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to
the chuck and personal injury may occur when
changing accessories.
Dual range gearing (Figure F)

Do not change gears when tool is running.
If you are having trouble changing gears, make
sure that the dual range gear button is either
completely pushed forward or completely pushed
back.

Hints for optimum use
Drilling
♦
Use sharp drill bits only.
♦
Support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
♦
Use appropriate and required safety
equipment, as instructed in the Safety
Instructions.
♦
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed
in the Safety Instructions.
♦
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure,
until the hole is started enough to keep the
drill bit from slipping out of it.
♦
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit.
Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting but
not so much as to stall the motor or de
fl
ect the
bit.
♦
Hold the drill
fi
rmly with two hands to control
its twisting action.
♦
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF
A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE
DRILL CAN RESULT.
♦
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing
pressure and slowly drilling through the last
part of the hole.
♦
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit
out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce
jamming.
♦
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist
drill bits used for metal or with spade bits. These
bits should be sharp and should be pulled out
frequently when drilling to clear chips from the
fl
utes.
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are cast iron and brass which should
be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work
best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
Drilling in masonry
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the
hammer drilling position by aligning the symbol
with the marking. Slide the speed selector (5)
towards the front of the tool (2nd gear).
Screwdriving
♦
Always use the correct type and size of
screwdriver bit.
♦
If screws are dif
fi
cult to tighten, try applying
a small amount of washing liquid or soap as
a lubricant.
♦
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in
a straight line with the screw
