INSTALLINGBITS
See Figures 9 - 10.
[] 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 opening 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 10. 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 on the drill bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked LOCK to tighten the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.
[] When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping
[] When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
[] If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
NOTE: This drill has an electric brake. When the switch trigger is released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake is functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action of the brake.
