APPLICATIONS
You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:
Drilling in wood
Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates
Drilling in metals
Mixing paint
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 2, page 11.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To turn the tool
ON
, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF
, release the switch trigger and allow the coupler to
come to a complete stop.
NOTE:
A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE)
See Figure 3 page 11.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the tool
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger
for forward rotation. The direction is reversed when the
selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
NOTE:
The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop before changing the direction
of rotation.
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.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 4 - 5, page 11.
Unplug the drill.
Insert the chuck key and twist counterclockwise.
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.
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 5. This could
cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in
possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.
Insert the drill bit.
Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the drill bit, using the
chuck key provided.
Remove the chuck key and return it to the storage area.
USING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 6, page 11.
Your drill is equipped with an auxiliary handle assembly. For
ease of operation, use the handle with either the left or right
hand. The handle can be rotated 360°.
To adjust the auxiliary handle assembly:
Loosen the handle assembly by turning the handle
counterclockwise.
Rotate the handle assembly to the desired operating
position.
Securely tighten by turning the handle assembly
clockwise.
NOTE:
For convenience and ease of starting threads, the
hex nut has been trapped inside the molded slot in the
handle assembly.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 7, page 12.
This drill is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is
convenient for continuous drilling for extended periods of time.
To lock-on:
Depress the switch trigger.
Push in and hold the lock-on button, located on the side
of the handle.
Release the switch trigger.
Release the lock-on button and the drill will continue
running.
To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.
If the lock-on feature is engaged during use and the drill
becomes disconnected from the power supply, disengage
the lock-on feature immediately.
