INSTALLING AUXILIARY HANDLE

See Figure 2, page 11.

An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of 
operation and to help prevent loss of control. The auxiliary 
handle may be installed at three different positions on the 
drill body.

WARNING:

Always use the auxiliary handle when using this 
tool to help  resist torque reactions. Binding or 
stalling of this product could lead to serious 
personal injury.

ASSEMBLY

OPERATION

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 turning 
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.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with products to make you 
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a 
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

WARNING:

Always wear eye protection with side shields 
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do 
so could result in objects being thrown into your 
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not use any attachments or accessories not 
recommended by the manufacturer of this product. 
The use of attachments or accessories not 
recommended can result in serious personal injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use the product for the purposes listed below:

 

Drilling in wood, hard metals, and soft metals

 

Mixing paints and drywall compounds

SPADE HANDLE

See Figure 3, page 11.

The spade handle can be rotated 360° for ease of use and 
greater control of the tool. To adjust the spade handle, grasp 
the handle and rotate it to the desired position. 
NOTE: The spade handle is not to be used as an auxiliary 
handle to resist torque reactions.

VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER

See Figure 4, page 11.

The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with 
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased 
trigger pressure.

To turn the tool 

ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it 

OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the coupler to 
come to a complete stop.
NOTE:  A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch 
during use is a normal part of the switch function.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 4, page 11.

This drill is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is 
convenient for continuous drilling for extended periods of 
time.
To lock-on:

 

Depress the switch trigger.

 

Push in and hold the lock-on button, located on the side 
of the handle.

 

Release the switch trigger.

 

Release the lock-on button and the drill will continue 
running.

 

To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.

If the lock-on feature is engaged during use and the drill 
becomes disconnected from the power supply, disengage 
the lock-on feature immediately.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR

(FORWARD/REVERSE)

See Figure 5, page 11.

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled 
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the tool 
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation 
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger 
for forward rotation. The direction is reversed when the 
selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation 
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
