Installing or removing drill bit

CAUTION :

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the bit.

To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all three chuck holes evenly.

To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.

Switch action

Move the reversing switch lever to the

"FWD" position for clockwise rotation or the "REV" position for counterclockwise. The trigger switch does not actuate if the reversing switch lever is in the neutral posi- tion.

Tool speed is increased by increasing pres- sure on the trigger. To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it. A speed control screw is provided so that maximum tool speed can be limited (vari- able). Turn the speed control screw clock- wise for higher speed, and counterclock- wise for lower speed.
