Side Handle
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal
injury,
ALWAYS
operate the tool with the side
handle properly installed. Failure to do so may result in the side
handle slipping during tool operation and subsequent loss of
control. Hold tool with both hands to maximize control.
Side handle clamps to the front of the gear case as shown and
may be rotated to permit right- or left-hand use. Side handle must
be tightened sufficiently to resist the twisting action of the tool if
the accessory binds or stalls. Be sure to grip the side handle at the
far end to control the tool during a stall. If model is not equipped
with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle and one
hand on the battery pack.
Drill Operation
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed
and torque to the planned operation.
2. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole saws. For METAL,
use high-speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when
drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled
dry.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep
the drill bit biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the
bit.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
5.
IF DRILL STALLS,
it is usually because it is being overloaded.
RELEASE
TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY,
remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of
stalling.
DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A
STALLED DRILL – THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
