The center position of the control button locks the tool
in the off position. When changing the position of the
control button, be sure the trigger is released.
NOTE:
The first time tool is run after changing direction of
rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Torque Control (Catalog Number CD961 - CD121)
To set the tool’s torque, rotate the adjustable torque
collar clockwise as required. 8 positions ar e marked
around the collar and the higher the number, the higher
the torque. Each click in a clockwise direction means an
increase in the torque produced. Position 8 is the drill
mode and is marked with the picture of a drill bit. In
this position the clutch will not operate. This permits
heavy duty drilling / driving screws.
Keyless Chuck Operation
To attach accessories, grasp the rear half of the chuck with
one hand and use your other hand to rotate the front half
in the counterclockwise direction. Insert the bit or other
accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten secur ely by
holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front
portion in the clockwise direction as viewed from the
chuck end.
Drilling
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the safety instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
safety instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to
stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing
pressure and slowly drilling through last part of hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole This will help reduce jamming.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The excep-
tions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
Lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil
or lard oil.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
WARNING:
