LEVEL
This drill is equipped with a bubble level located on the top of the motor housing. It helps you to keep
the drill bit level during use.
CHUCK
1. Your drill is equipped with a keyless chuck, so you can quickly change bits with no extra
tools required.
2. To insert or change bits, put the reversing switch in the neutral (middle) position. Hold the
collar of the chuck with one hand and rotate the body of the chuck to tighten or loosen.
3. Always make sure that bits are seated firmly between the chuck jaws. Never attempt to
operate a bit that is wobbly, unstable, or broken.
WARNING! Make sure that the drill bit is inserted straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill
bit into the chuck jaws at an angle and tighten. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the
drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
CLUTCH (TORQUE) SETTINGS
1. During screw driving applications, you can adjust the maximum torque that the drill
will produce.
2. This feature can be used to prevent the stripping and breaking of screws, or to set a series of
screws to a depth that fits your project.
3. Set the clutch ring at the front of the drill to settings from 1 (lightest) to 16 (heaviest). Setting
16 is direct drive (torque is not limited) and used primarily for drilling operations.
4. In general, you will find the lower settings more useful with smaller screws and the higher
settings more useful for larger screws.
GENERAL SCREWDRIVING
1. Clamp your work piece.
2. Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into hardwoods.
3. Exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw. Let the
tool do the work.
4. Use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance.
GENERAL DRILLING
1. Clamp your work piece. Use torque setting 16 then exert enough pressure to start the drill bit
and keep it cutting. Do not force or stall the bit. Do not bend or twist the bit. Let the tool and
the blade do the work.
2. Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding and for when the bit breaks through
the material.
WARNING! Forcing a drill bit, bending or twisting the bit, or failure to maintain balance
in case of binding or breakthrough can result in serious personal injury and/or damage to
the work piece.
3. Chattering or vibration may indicate that you need a finer bit or higher speed. If the bit
overheats or clogs, it may indicate you need a coarser bit or slower speed setting. Replace
bits when they become dull. Dull bits will produce poor results and may overheat the drill.
4. Use a coating of light oil when drilling into metal to keep the bit cool and to facilitate cutting.
