   Warning! 

Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly 

used) causing a twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill 
firmly to control the twisting action and prevent loss of 
control which could cause personal injury. If a stall does 
occur, release the trigger immediately and determine the 
reason for the stall before re-starting.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)

To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch. To turn the 
tool off, release the trigger switch. Your tool is equipped 
with a brake. The chuck will stop as soon as the trigger 
switch is fully released. The variable speed switch enables 
you to select the best speed for a particular application. The 
more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the tool will 
operate. Use lower speeds for starting holes without a 
center punch, drilling in metals or plastics, or driving 
screws. For maximum tool life, use variable speed only for 
starting holes or fasteners. 
NOTE: Continuous use in variable speed range is not 
recommended. It may damage the switch and should be 
avoided.

Forward/Reverse Control Button (FIG. 1) 

A forward/reverse control button determines the direction of 
the tool and also serves as a lock off button. To select 
forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the 
forward/reverse control button on the right side of the tool. 
To select reverse, depress the forward/reverse control 
button on the left side of the tool. The center position of the 
control button locks the tool in the off position. When 
changing the position of the control button, be sure the 
trigger is released.

Quick Release Chuck – (FIG. 2)

NOTE:

 The chuck accepts 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) hex accesso-

ries only.
