The belt hook (g) and bit clip (i) can be be attached
to either side of the tool using only the screw (h)
provided, to accommodate left- or right- handed
users. If the hook or bit clip is not desired at all, it
can be removed from the tool.
To move belt hook or bit clip, remove the screw
(h) that holds it in place then reassemble on the
opposite side. Be sure to securely tighten the screw.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Proper Hand Position (figure 3)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the top
of the drill (l) as shown, with the other hand on the
main handle (m).
Drill Operation (figure 4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source
before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS ensure
workpiece is anchored or clamped
firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
“back-up” block to prevent damage to
the material.
1. Turn the collar (c) to the drill symbol.
2. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
gear shifter to match the speed and torque to
the planned operation.
3. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power
auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use high-
speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use
a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are cast iron and brass which should
be drilled dry.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but
do not push hard enough to stall the motor or
deflect the bit.
5. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control
the twisting action of the drill. If model is not
equipped with side handle, grip drill with one
hand on the handle and one hand on the
battery pack.
CAUTION: Drill may stall if overloaded
causing a sudden twist. Always expect
the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control
the twisting action and avoid injury.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because
it is being overloaded or improperly used.
RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of
stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND
OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the
bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit
back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.
9. With variable speed drills there is no need to
center punch the point to be drilled. Use a
slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by
squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is
deep enough to drill without the bit skipping
out.
Hammerdrill Operation (figure 5)
1. Turn the collar (c) to the hammerdrill symbol.
2. Select the high speed setting by sliding the
selector back (away from the chuck).
IMPORTANT: Use carbide-tipped or masonry
bits only.
3. Drill with just enough force on the hammer to
keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off
the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling
speeds, overheating and lower drilling rate.
4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to
the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit
when drillling as this will cause clogging of the
bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
