OPERATION

INSTALLING BITS

See Figures 10 - 11.

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 open- ing 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.

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.

Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.

NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

REMOVING BITS

Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position.

Open the chuck jaws.

NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked UNLOCK to open the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

Remove the drill bit.

An auxiliary handle assembly 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 coun- terclockwise.

Rotate the handle assembly to the desired operating position.
