USING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY

See Figure 8.

The drill is equipped with an auxiliary handle assembly. For ease of operation, use the handle with either the left or right hand. The handle can be rotated 360°.

To adjust the auxiliary handle assembly:

Loosen the handle assembly by turning the handle counterclockwise.

Rotate the handle assembly to the desired operating position.

Securely tighten by turning the handle assembly clockwise.

Be sure the handle assembly is securely tightened against the depth stop clamp. This secures the depth stop rod at the desired depth of cut. It also secures the handle assembly.

NOTE: For convenience and ease of starting threads, the hex nut has been trapped inside the molded slot in the handle assembly.

The depth stop rod helps control the depth of drilled holes.

NOTE: When properly installed, the teeth on the depth stop rod should be aligned with the teeth indicator on the depth stop clamp.

Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.

When drilling holes with the depth stop rod installed, the desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the rod comes in contact with the surface of the workpiece.
