The ITC 011232 1/2" Variable Speed D-Handle Drill, with its low speed and high
torque is especially suited for heavy-duty drilling into steel, wood, and plastics. Its
variable speed trigger allows a soft start, useful when turning paint and drywall
mud mixing paddles. The speed limiting dial on the trigger can be used to set the
optimum speed for a particular material.
OPERATING THE CHUCK
WARNING:
Be sure the drill is disconnected from power before operating chuck.
To open the jaws of the chuck,
1. Insert the chuck key into one of the three holes ranged around the outside
and match the teeth of the key with the teeth of the gear ring around the chuck
housing.
2. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise, or if possible, turn the chuck by hand until
it will accept the drill bit or accessory shaft, up to 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter.
3. Insert the bit into the chuck.
4. Lift the bit very slightly (1.5 mm or 1/16") off the bottom and center it between
the jaws.
Close the chuck:
1. Tighten it by hand and then continue by turning the chuck key
counter-clockwise.
2. Perform final tightening by inserting the chuck key and tightening it in all
three holes around the chuck.
CAUTION:
Remove the chuck key before using the tool.
RUNNING THE ITC 011232
1. Plug in the tool.
2. Hold the tool firmly, usually by the main trigger handle and the auxiliary side
handle. Depending on the situation, the auxiliary handle can be pushed up
against a firm support and the tool held with one hand on the D-handle and one
on the trigger handle.
3. Squeezing the trigger more will increase the speed. The maximum speed is
adjustable by rotating the speed adjustment wheel in the trigger.
4. To maintain a certain speed when set on the adjustment wheel, engage the
lock-on button on the left side of the handle when squeezing the trigger switch.
5. To disengage the lock-on button, squeeze the trigger momentarily.
6. To change the chuck rotation direction, move the forward / reverse lever above
the trigger to the other side. Setting the direction switch to the right causes the
drill to turn clockwise, for normal drilling. The direction switch moved to the left
will cause the drill to run in reverse (counterclockwise) direction, backing drill
bits and screws out of their holes.
CAUTION:
Do not change the drilling direction while the motor is turning. Release
the trigger and allow the chuck to stop its rotation before throwing the forward
/reverse lever.
WARNING:
Turn off your drill at once, unplug and inspect it for serious problems if:
•
Moving parts get stuck
•
Speed drops to an abnormally low level
•
The motor housing gets hot
•
Sparks or odours emit from the casing.
