To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck (3) with one hand and
use your other hand to rotate the front half (3a) in
the counterclockwise direction, as viewed from
the chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck,
and tighten securely by holding the rear half of the
chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise
direction as viewed from the chuck end.
Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any
other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck
and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal
injury may occur when changing accessories.
SCREWDRIVING
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be
pushed to the left. Use reverse (button pushed to the right)
for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to
reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
DRILLING
f Use sharp drill bits only.
f Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
"Safety Instructions".
f Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the "Safety Instructions".
f Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
"Safety Instructions".
f Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until
the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from
slipping out of it.
f 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.
f Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its
twisting action.
f Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill off and
on in an attempt to start it. Damage to the drill
can result.
f Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing
pressure and slowly drilling through the last part
of the hole.
f Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of
a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
f Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits
used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be
sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are
cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
