OPERATION
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the
OFF
(center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop.
NOTE:
The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
kEYLESS CHUCk
See Figure 4, page 12.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck
with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other hand.
The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate
the chuck body in order to
LOCk
(tighten) or
UNLOCk
(release) the drill bit.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use
the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on
the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand,
or your hand could slip and come in contact with
the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 5, page 13.
The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or
driving at
LO (1)
or
HI (2)
speeds. A slide switch is located on
top of the drill to select either
LO (1)
or
HI (2)
speed. When
using drill in the
LO (1)
speed range, speed will decrease
and unit will have more power and torque. When using drill in
the
HI (2)
speed range, speed will increase and unit will have
less power and torque. Use
LO (1)
speed for high power
and torque applications and
HI (2)
speed for fast drilling or
driving applications.
NOTE:
If you have difficulty changing from one gear range to
the other, turn the chuck by hand until the gears engage.
CAUTION:
Never change gears while the tool is running.
Failure to obey this caution could result in serious
damage to the drill.

INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 6 - 7, page 13.
To install bits:
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening
is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also,
raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling
out of the chuck jaws.
Insert the drill bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the
chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck
jaws at an angle then tighten, as shown in figure 7.
This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the
drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or
damage to the chuck.
Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.
NOTE:
Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked
LOCk
to close the chuck jaws. Do not use
a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
To remove bits:
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
Open the chuck jaws.
NOTE:
Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow
marked
UNLOCk
to open the chuck jaws. Do not use a
wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
Remove the drill bit.
