VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page ii.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed
with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with de-
creased trigger pressure.
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn
it OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck 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.
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.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 4, page ii.
NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent
accidental starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward drilling. Position the selector to
the right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
_1_ WARNING" Battery tools are always in operating
condition. Lock the switch when not in use or
carrying at your side, when installing or removing the
battery pack, and when installing or removing bits.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 5, page ii.
• Lock the switch trigger.
• Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
• Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
product before beginning operation.
• Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 9 - 10, page ii.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck body to tighten or release the drill bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
• To install bits, lock the switch trigger.
• Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is
slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use.
• Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the drill bit.
_1_ 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. This could
cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, result-
ing in possible serious personal injury or damage to
the chuck.
• Rotate the chuck body to close and tighten the chuck
jaws.
_I_ WARNING: Do not hold the chuck body with one
hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the
chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip
in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in
contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an
accident resulting in serious personal injury.
• To remove bits, lock the switch trigger and open the
chuck jaws.
• The bits provided with the drill can be placed in the bit
storage area, located on the base of the drill.
USING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figures 9 - 10, page ii.
An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of
operation and to help prevent loss of control. The handle
can be mounted on the opposite side for left hand use.
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.
