NOTE: Break Point (Bull) bits and cold chisels should be used when the Switches are in the hammering position only. Using these bits/ chisels with the Switches in the

Hammer/Drill position will result in unexpected tool performance.

Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

1.Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.

2.Route the Power Cord (112) along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the Power Cord to possible damage. The Power Cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3.Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.

4.There must not be hazardous objects, such as utility lines or foreign objects, nearby that will present a hazard while working.

Operating Instructions

Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Inserting and Removing Drill Bits:

1.CAUTION: Always wear heavy duty work gloves to provide protection when inserting and removing drill bits. Drill bits become very hot in use. Do not remove drill bits until the bit has completely cooled. Do not strike stuck bits with a hammer as metal chips may fly off. Always disconnect the Power Cord (112) from its electrical outlet when inserting and removing bits and chisels.

2.Add a light coating of grease or machine oil to the drill bit shank.

3.Pull back on the Spring (41) while at the same time inserting and turning the Drill Bit until it slides all the way in the Front Cover (39). Then release the Spring so that it returns to its original position. NOTE: You should not be able to move the Bit without pulling back on the Spring again. Make sure the Bit does not move to ensure that it is properly locked in place. (See Figure A.)
