• The four green LEDs will illuminate, indicating the percent of charge in the battery. If all four are lit, battery has a full charge. If LEDs do not illuminate, charge battery.
NOTE: The state of charge LEDs will also light when the trigger is pulled to indicate the state of charge while the drill is in use.
Single Sleeve Keyless Chuck (Figure F)
WARNING: Make certain the
1. Grasp the handle of the drill with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the chuck (4) in the counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding the handle and rotating the chuck clockwise as viewed from the chuck end.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when changing accessories.

Drilling
• Ensure the forward/reverse button (2) is pushed to the left and drill mode is selected (Figure E). AUTOSENSE will be deactivated.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the 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 pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
WARNING: When this tool is in drill mode it may stall if overloaded, causing a sudden twist.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
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 sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
