TOOL ASSEMBLY
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

OPERATION
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Unplug the tool before changing accessories or making adjust- ments.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury when drilling, always hold tool by the insulated grip- ping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
1.Unplug tool.
2.Open the chuck jaws wide enough to insert the bit. Be sure the bit shank and chuck jaws are clean. Dirt particles may prevent the bit from lining up properly.
3.Insert the bit into the chuck. Center the bit in the chuck jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the bottom. Then, tighten the chuck jaws by hand to align the bit.
4.Place the chuck key in each of the three holes in the chuck, turning it clockwise as shown. Tighten securely.
5.To remove the bit, insert the chuck key into one of the holes in the chuck and turn it counterclockwise.

A No. 3 Morse Taper Socket is furnished as standard equipment on Super
To remove the bit from the socket, unscrew the knurled taper socket cap and pull out the bit and the socket. Once removed, the bit can be gently knocked free with a soft metal mallet. Replace the socket and the knurled cap.
Bit Selection
•Use sharp bits. Sharp bits are less likely to bind when drilling.
•Use the proper bit for the job. There are many types of bits designed for specific purposes. Check the information on the bit's packaging for proper usage.
•Do not use bits larger than the rated capacity of the drill. Gear damage or motor overload may result (see "Specifications").
Pipe Handle
Thread pipe handle into the threaded hole in the motor housing.
WARNING!
When drilling, always brace the drill against a solid fixed object (such as a stud) in preparation for a sudden reaction.
When drilling, never use your body to brace drill.
Never put your hands (or other body parts) between the part of the drill being braced and the object it is being braced against. Hands (or other body parts) that are in the path of the reaction can be pinched, crushed or broken.
Bit binding (Fig. 3)

A
If the bit binds, the drill will suddenly react in the opposite direction of the rotation of the bit. Figure 3 shows the path of reaction, (B) if the drill bit binds while being driven in forward (A).The operator should reduce the chances of a sudden reaction by following the instructions listed below.
The operator should also prepare for a sudden reaction by holding securely using the pipe handle or bracing against a solid fixed object.
