BIT STORAGE
See Figure 9, page ii.
When not in use, bits provided with the drill can be placed
in the storage area located on the base of the drill.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figures 10 - 11, page ii.
 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.
 Tighten the chuck jaws on 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 11. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown
from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal
injury or damage to the chuck.
 Rotate the chuck clockwise to tighten the chuck jaws
securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked LOCK to tighten the chuck jaws. Do not
use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws

USING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figures 12 - 13, page iii.
An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of
operation and to help prevent loss of control. The handle
can be rotated 360°, and it can also be mounted on the
opposite side for left hand use.
To adjust the auxiliary handle assembly, loosen the handle
assembly by turning the handle counterclockwise.
Rotate the auxiliary handle assembly to the desired
operating position.
Securely tighten by turning the auxiliary handle clockwise.
Be sure the auxiliary handle is securely tightened against
the depth gauge clamp. This secures the depth stop rod
at the desired depth of cut. It also secures the auxiliary
handle.
NOTE: For convenience and ease of starting threads, the
hex nut has been trapped inside the molded slot in the
auxiliary handle.
The depth stop rod helps control the depth of drilled
holes.
NOTE: When properly installed, the teeth on the depth
stop rod should be aligned with the teeth indicator on the
depth gauge clamp.
Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends
beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.
When drilling holes with the depth stop rod installed, the
desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the
rod comes in contact with the surface of the workpiece.
ADJUSTING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figure 13, page iii.
 Loosen the auxiliary handle assembly by turning the
knob counterclockwise.
 Rotate the auxiliary handle assembly to the desired
location.
 Tighten the auxiliary handle assembly securely by turn-
