Operating Instructions

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED

TRIGGER SWITCH

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).

"LOCK-ON" BUTTON

The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of your tool allows for continuous operation at maximum RPM without holding the trigger (Fig. 1).

TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger, depress button and release trigger.

TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger and release it without depressing the "Lock- ON" button.

!WARNING If the “Lock-ON” button is continuously being depressed,

the trigger can not be released.

FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &

TRIGGER LOCK

Your tool is equipped with a forward/reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the chuck, and for locking the trigger in an“OFF” position to help prevent accidental starts. For forward rotation, (with the chuck pointed away from you) move lever to the far left. For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right. To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position.

!CAUTION Do not change direction of rotation until the tool comes

to a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the tool.

INSERTING BIT

For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close the jaws by hand. This positions the bit properly, giving maximum contact between the chuck jaws and the bit shank.

KEYED MODELS

To tighten chuck, insert key into each of the three key holes in succession and tighten firmly. The chuck can be released by using one hole only (Fig. 3).

KEYLESS MODELS

To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with one hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve with the other hand (Fig. 4).

! WARNING

To prevent friction burns, or

possible hand injury, do not

 

loosen or tighten the chuck by using the power of the drill.

CHUCK KEY OR BIT STORAGE AREA

Keyed models are equipped with a chuck key that is conveniently located in the handle base where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost or misplaced (Fig. 1).
