SWITCH

See Figure 2.

To turn your drill ON, depress the switch trigger. Release
switch trigger to turn your drill OFF.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 2.

Your drill is equipped with a "lock-on" feature, which is
convenient when continuous drilling for extended periods of
time is required.  To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push
in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the
handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on button
and your drill will continue running.

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

If you have the "lock-on" feature engaged during use and
your drill becomes disconnected from power supply, disen-
gage the "lock-on" feature immediately.

WARNING:

Before connecting your drill to power supply source,
always check to be sure it is not in “lock-on” position
(depress and release switch trigger). Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting of your drill resulting in
possible serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on
jobs where your drill may need to be stopped suddenly.

REVERSIBLE

See Figure 3.

Your drill has the feature of being reversible. The direction of
chuck rotation is controlled by a lever located above the
switch trigger. With your drill held in normal operating
position, the direction of rotation lever should be positioned
to the left of the switch for drilling operation. The direction of
rotation is reversed when the lever is to the right of the
switch.

The design of the switch will not permit changing the
direction of rotation while the drill is running. Release
the switch trigger and allow the drill to stop before
changing its direction.

NOTE: Your drill will not run unless switch lever is
pushed fully to the left or right.

CHUCK KEY

See Figure 4.

A chuck key has been provided for use when installing or
removing bits. It is also used when removing the chuck. (See
chuck removal section).

CHUCK KEY STORAGE

See Figure 4.

When not in use, the chuck key can be placed in the storage
area located on the bottom portion of drill handle.
