2.Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by rotating the chuck in the clockwise direction as viewed from the chuck end.

WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when changing accessories.

SCREW DRIVING

For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be pushed to the left. Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.

DRILLING

•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.

•Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting action.

•Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill on and off 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.

DRILLING IN MASONRY

Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
