Make sure the power is turned off before assembly, adjustments, or adding/removing accessories.
Using the power of the drill to adjust the diameter of the chuck could cause serious injury.
Loosen the chuck sleeve by rotating counter-clockwise, then open the chuck to the approximate diameter of the drill bit. For small drill
bits, insert the bit into the opening of the drill flute. For larger bits, push the bit in as far as it will go. To tighten the chuck sleeve, rotate
clockwise until the bit is held firmly in the chuck.
DRILL OPERATION
Unpack product from package and review contents. Keep all packaging until product has been reviewed.
Damage to the tool can occur if the forward / reverse button is moved while the chuck is turning.
The forward / reverse lever changes the direction of the drill rotation. With the drill pointed towards the work area, move the lever to the right
side (Figure 2) for forward (clockwise) rotation, and the left side for reverse (counterclockwise) rotation.
Pulling the trigger starts the drill. Increase drill speed by pulling back on the trigger. To control the torque at which the drill will rotate, turn the
Adjustable Torque Sleeve.
DRILLING TIPS
Applying too much pressure can result in damage to the drill bit, which could result in serious injury.
Be prepared and braced for the twisting action of the drill.
Wear safety eyewear and dust filters or respirators while using the tool.
The motor may overheat if run for long periods of time. If the motor begins to show signs of overheating, turn the drill “Off” and allow
the motor to cool before continuing.
Before beginning, check to make sure the bit is held securely in the chuck, and the forward / reverse button is set for clockwise rotation
Using a center punch, locate the center of the hole to be drilled. Place the tip of the drill on the spot to be drilled, and press the trigger to start
the motor. Continue to apply an even pressure on the work to keep the bit cutting into the surface.
If the drill becomes jammed, release the trigger and stop drilling to investigate the cause.
When drilling in wood, frequently remove the bit from the work to clear away wood chips that can build up on the bit. Use a backing block to
keep wood from splitting. Be sure the backing block is held securely in place with clamps. If you are not using a backing block, stop drilling
when the bit breaks through, and complete the hole from the opposite side.
When drilling in metal, use high quality steel bits and begin drilling with a slow speed. The harder the material being drilled the slower the speed
required for the job. Increase speed gradually, and use a punch to start the hole and prevent drill bit run away. The use of lubricants like oil
helps keep the bit cool and prolongs drill bit life.
