Setting depth: After the auxiliary handle is installed, make sure the accessory has been fully inserted into the tool holder before setting the depth gauge (Fig. 5).
To adjust depth, push down on the depth gauge release lever, slide the depth gauge to desired depth and release pressure on lever to lock the depth gauge in place (Fig. 5).

CHUCK KEY & STORAGE AREA
Your tool is equipped with a chuck key that is conveniently located on the cord protector where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost or misplaced (Fig. 1).
INSERTING BIT
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close the jaws by hand. This positions the bit properly, giving maximum contact between the chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten chuck, insert key into each of the three key holes in succession and tighten
clockwise firmly. The chuck can be released by using one hole only (Fig. 6).

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with the work before pulling the trigger. During the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and cause excess friction by sliding over the surface. This can be damaging to both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature will eliminate the need for center punches in hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a slow starting speed, you are able to keep the bit from “wandering”. You can increase the speed as the bit “bites” into the work by squeezing the trigger.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
Variable speed drills will double as a power screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the drill mode. The technique is to start slowly, increasing the speed as the screw runs down. Set the screw snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes should be drilled.
