OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
WARNING!
Using keyless chucks (Fig. 5)
For best performance, always use sharp, clean bits and be sure the chuck
jaws are clean. Dirt particles may cause the bit to line up improperly. Do
not use bits larger than the maximum recommended capacity for the drill
because gear damage or motor overloading may result.
1.
Remove the battery pack from the tool. To open the chuck jaws, turn
the sleeve in the direction marked RELEASE.
2.
Allow the bit to strike the bottom of the chuck and center the bit in the
chuck jaws.
To close the chuck jaws, hold the collar while turning the sleeve in
the direction marked GRIP. Tighten securely. Insert battery pack on
the tool.
3.
To remove the bit, hold the collar while turning the sleeve in the di-
rection marked RELEASE.

visible. The trigger will not work while the switch is in the locked position.
Always lock the trigger and remove the battery pack before performing
