OPERATION
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4, page 11.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck with one hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.

INSTALLING BITS
See Figures 7 - 8, page 12.
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position.
Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.
Insert the drill bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle then tighten, as shown in figure 9. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.
Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 7, page 12.
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in the center position.
Open the chuck jaws.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked UNLOCK to open the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
Remove the drill bit.
DRILLING
See Figure 9, page 12.
A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help keep the drill bit level during use.
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct setting (forward or reverse).
Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
