LED LIGHT

A light (3) is built-in to the screwdriver below the spindle (4). To use the light without the spindle turning, place the forward / reverse selector (2) in the neutral position and squeeze the trigger.

DRILLING

•Insert the appropriate hex shank drill bit.

NOTE: When drilling, the bit may become disconnected from the spindle upon withdrawing it from the material. Should this occur, the bit can be removed by re-inserting the hex shank into the spindle and running the tool in the reverse direction.

GENERAL DRILLING TIPS

•This tool is not recommended for drilling in masonry.

•Use sharp drill bits only.

•Drill bits for metal can be used for drilling holes in wood. These bits must be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips from the flutes.

•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.

•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.

•Hold the tool firmly to control its twisting action.

•DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED TOOL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE TOOL CAN RESULT.

•Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through last part of hole.

•Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.

•Make sure switch turns tool on and off.

WARNING: It is important to support work properly and to hold the tool firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury.
