ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

The tool should never be connected to a power sup- ply when you are assembling parts, making adjust- ments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will pre- vent accidental starting that could cause serious in- jury.

Installing Auxiliary Handle

See Figure 2.

An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of opera- tion and to help prevent loss of control.

To use the auxiliary handle:

1.Open the clamping ring by turning the handle counterclock- wise.

2.Slide the ring of the auxiliary handle onto the spindle collar of the machine.

3. Tighten the auxiliary handle at the desired angle by turn- ing the handle clockwise.

Fig. 2

Note: For convenience the screw has been trapped inside the auxiliary handle.

To prevent thread damage and possible loss of control, the auxiliary handle should be checked periodically for tightness. Do not operate the drill with the handle loose.
