Screw driving
For driving fasteners, the forward/reverse button should
u
be pushed to the left.
Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing
u
fasteners.
Note: When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa,
always release the trigger switch first.
Drilling
Use sharp drill bits only.
u
Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
u
Safety Instructions.
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
u
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
u
Safety Instructions.
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
u
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out
of it.
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
u
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the han‑
u
dle, and the other gripping the bottom around the battery
area or the auxiliary handle if provided.
DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
u
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
u
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled
u
hole. This will help reduce jamming.
Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
u
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 sulphurized cutting oil.
Drilling in masonry
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer
drilling position by aligning the symbol with the marking. Use
carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep
even force on the drill but not so much that you crack the brit‑
tle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper
drilling rate.
(Original instructions)
LED work light
When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the
integrated LED work light (8)will automatically illuminate the
work area.
Note: The work light is for lighting the immediate work surface
and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Bit tip storage
A bit storage slot (9) is built into the base of the tool.
