OPERATION
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill
bits in the chuck jaws. 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 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 (HI-LO)
See Figure 5.
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 the drill in the
LO (1)
speed range,
speed will decrease and the unit will have more power
and torque. When using the drill in the
HI (2)
speed
range, speed will increase and the 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.

BIT STORAGE
See Figure 7.
When not in use, bits provided with the drill can be placed
in the storage area located on the base of the drill.
MAG TRAY™ (SCREW HOLDER)
See Figure 7.
The magnetic tray conveniently stores screws or other
small parts.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figures 8 - 9.
■
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 9. 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.
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 8.
■
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.
DRILLING
See Figure 10.
A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help
keep the drill bit level during use.
■
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
■
Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
