ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING AUXILIARY HANDLE
See Figure 2.
An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of op-
eration and to help prevent loss of control. The auxiliary
handle may be installed at three different positions on the
drill body.
To install the auxiliary handle:

Insert the threaded end of the handle into one of the three
positions on the drill as shown in figure 2.
 Tighten the auxiliary handle at the desired angle by turn-
ing the handle clockwise.
To prevent thread damage and possible loss of control, the
auxiliary handle should be checked periodically for tightness.
Do not operate the drill with the handle loose.
INSTALLING SPADE HANDLE
See Figure 3.
A two-position spade handle is packed with the drill for ease
of operation and to help prevent loss of control.
To install the spade handle:

Place handle either vertically or horizontally on the mount-
ing boss, located on the rear end of the drill.

Turn the cap screw clockwise and tighten securely. Do not
over tighten.
To prevent thread damage and possible loss of control, the
spade handle should be checked periodically for tightness.
Do not operate the drill with the handle loose.
