Operating Instructions
TRIGGER CONTROLLED VARIABLE SPEED
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be controlled
from minimum to maximum nameplate rated
RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger.
Apply more pressure to increase the speed and
release pres sure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).
"LOCK-ON" BUTTON
Your tool is also equipped with a “Lock-ON”
button located on the left side of the trigger
handle that allows for operation at maximum
RPM without holding the trigger (Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being depressed,
the trigger can not be released.
REVERSING SWITCH BUTTON
The reversing switch button is located above
the trigger switch and is used to reverse
rotation of the bit. For forward rotation, (with the
chuck pointed away from you) move button to
the far left. For reverse rotation move the button
to the far right.
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.
HIP CLIP
Your tool is equipped with a hip clip that allows
you to conveniently attach your drill to your belt,
(Fig.1) This feature will allow you to have both
hands free when climbing a ladder or
positioning material to be fastened.

WARNING
INSERTING BIT
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit
as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close
the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with one
hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve
with the other hand (Fig. 2).
To prevent friction burns, or
pos sible hand injury, do not
loosen or tighten the chuck by using the power
of the drill.

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in contact
with the work before pulling the trigger. During
the oper a tion, hold the tool firmly and exert
light, steady pressure. Too much pressure at
low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure
will keep the bit from cutting and cause excess
friction by sliding over the surface. This can be
damaging to both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature
will eliminate the need for center punches in
hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a
slow starting speed, you are able to keep the
bit from “wander ing”. You can increase the
speed as the bit “bites” into the work by
squeezing the trigger.
