OPERATION

LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 12.

This drill is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is con- venient for continuous drilling for extended periods of time.

To lock-on:

Depress the switch trigger.

Push in and hold the lock-on button, located on the side of the handle.

Release the switch trigger.

Release the lock-on button and the drill will continue running.

To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.

If the lock-on feature is engaged during use and the drill becomes disconnected from the power supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.

WARNING:

Before connecting the drill to a power supply source, always check to be sure it is not in lock-on position (depress and release the switch trigger). Failure to ensure that it is not locked-on could result in accidental starting of the drill resulting in possible serious injury. Do not lock the switch trigger in applications where the drill may need to be suddenly stopped.

DRILLING

See Figure 13

Depress and release the switch trigger to be sure the drill is in the OFF position before connecting it to a power supply.

Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct setting (forward or reverse).�

Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.�

Plug the drill into power supply. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.�

Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.

Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding at bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, the drill has a tendency to grab and kick in the opposite direction and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.
