Item 62427 

        

General Operating Instructions

1.  Make sure that the Trigger is in the 

off-position, then attach the Battery Pack.

2.  Insert the fully charged Battery Pack (11) into the 

base of the Tool, making sure that it clicks into place 

securely. Be sure the Battery Pack is securely seated 

into the Drill Handle so it does not fall off during use.

3.  Slide the Direction Switch (which should initially 

be centered in the “lock” position) to the right for 

forward drilling/fastening, or to the left for reversing 

the operation. Use the “reverse” setting only to 

remove screws or to release jammed drill bit.

NOTICE: Do not change direction of rotation 

while Chuck is rotating.  

Wait until Chuck has come 

to a complete stop before changing direction.
4.  If using the Drill to insert or remove screws, 

position the tip in the item to insert or remove. 

5.  If drilling a hole, hold the Drill above the area to drill.
6.  Press the Trigger to start the drill. The Work 

Light will also activate once the Switch is 

pressed and turn off once Switch is released.

7.  When inserting or removing a screw or bolt, use 

slight pressure at first to keep the bit in the head 

of the screw or bolt and cause the screw or bolt 

to thread into or unthread from the material. 

8.  When drilling a hole, let the Drill do the work, 

using only enough pressure to follow the 

drill as it cuts the hole in the material.

9.  When drilling a hard, smooth surface, use 

a center punch (not included) to mark the 

desired hole. This will prevent the drill bit 

from slipping as the hole is started.

Wood Drilling

a.  For best performance, use high speed 

drill bits for wood drilling and turn the 

torque setting to the drill icon.

b.  Start wood drilling at very low speed 

to keep the bit from slipping.  Increase 

speed as drill bit bites into wood.

c.  When drilling through holes, place a block 

or wood behind the workpiece to prevent 

ragged edges on the back side of the hole.

Metal Drilling

a.  For best performance, use high speed 

drill bits for metal or steel drilling and turn 

the torque setting to the drill icon.

b.  Start metal drilling at very low speed to keep the bit 

from slipping.  Maintain the speed and pressure, 

allowing for cutting without overheating the bit.

c.  When drilling large holes in metal surfaces, use a 

small drill bit at first.  Then finish with a larger drill 

bit.  Be sure to lubricate the bit with oil to improve 

the drilling action and help increase bit life.

10. When finished using the Drill, release the 

Trigger and center the Direction Switch to lock 

the trigger mechanism as a safety measure.

11.  To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and 

remove its Battery Pack after use.  Clean, then 

store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
