INSTALLING DRILL BIT INTO KEYLESS CHUCK

WARNING

Before inserting a drill bit or other accessory, make sure the drill power cord is disconnected from the AC power source to prevent accidental starts that may result in injury.

Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front of the chuck and turning the tool on. This may cause personal injury and/or damage to the chuck.

When removing the bit from the tool, avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.

OPERATING THE DRILL

Never tape the trigger switch down to provide continu- ous high speed. The tool may fail under such conditions causing fire or personal injury.

OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH

Squeeze the trigger switch to turn the tool “ON”. Release the trigger switch to turn the tool “OFF”.

When drilling for extended periods, the “Lock-On” switch may be used,

1.Unplug the drill. Never change bits on a live drill.

2.Make sure the bit is undam- aged, sharp and free from wood or metal shavings.

3.Hold the rear end of the chuck in one hand and use the other hand to rotate the front end in a counterclockwise direction to open the jaws of the chuck.

but do not use this switch in situa- tions where the drill is likely to bind or kickback. If kickback does occur, the sudden motion of the tool may make it difficult to release the “Lock- On” switch and turn the drill off.

4.Insert the shank of the bit (or other accessory) fully into the keyless chuck, taking care to keep the bit in the center of the jaws of the chuck.

5.Turn the front end of the chuck clockwise to hold the bit in place.

6.Tighten securely by turning the front end of the chuck clockwise while holding the rear end.

Always run the drill for one minute before drilling to make sure the bit is properly seated. If the bit needs to be adjusted, unplug the drill before touching the bit.

In certain situations, the bit may bind and the drill will kick- back in the opposite direction. This sudden reaction could lead to loss of con- trol and possible serious injury. Always be prepared for the possibility of kick- back, especially when breaking through material to complete a hole.

To increase the operating speed of the drill, turn the variable speed con- trol clockwise. To decrease the speed, turn the variable speed control counterclockwise.
