Operating Instructions
Side Handle (Figure 1)
ALWAYS USE THE SIDE HANDLE.
The side handle is assembled and ready to be placed on the drill. Slide the handle over the keyless chuck
and move it onto the collar just behind the chuck. Be sure the handle is on the front of the tool, not touching
the chuck. A back and forth motion will make the process easier. The side handle can be rotated anywhere
around the tool for right hand or left hand use.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the depth rod when rotating the side handle.
To adjust the depth rod, loosen (counterclockwise) the side handle and slide the depth rod to the desired
position. Tightening the side handle (clockwise) will secure the depth rod in place.
The depth rod will allow you to drill or drive screws to a desired depth. Once the depth rod makes contact
with the surface of the material, the bit will stop drilling. (Bit will continue to rotate.)
Switches
To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in ON position for
continuous operation, depress trigger and push lock-on button shown in Figure 2, then gently release
trigger. To release locking mechanism, depress trigger fully, then release it. Before using the tool (each time)
be sure that the lock-on button release mechanism is working freely. Do not lock the switch ON when
drilling by hand so that you can instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole. The lock-on
button is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or otherwise held stationary. Be sure to
release the lock-on button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause
the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.
Variable Speed Switch
This permits FREE HAND speed control—the further the trigger is depressed, the higher the R.P.M. Use
lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch, drilling in metal, plastics, and ceramics, or driving
screws. Higher speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards, and for using abrasive and
polishing accessories.
Reversing Switch
To operate your drill in reverse, a reversing switch has been provided, as shown in Figure 3A. To operate
the drill in forward (most drilling operations and driving screws) slide the reversing switch to the left, as
viewed from the chuck end (Figure 3A). To operate in reverse (removing screws or jammed drill bits) slide
the reversing switch to the right (Figure 3B). Do not move the switch while the drill is running. This can
damage the drill.
Hammer Action
Your drill has hammer action which is engaged by sliding the hammer/drill selector lever. To select
hammering, turn off the drill and slide the lever toward the hammer symbol on the drill housing, as shown
in Figure 4A. To select drilling, turn off the drill and slide the lever toward the drill symbol on the drill
housing, as shown in Figure 4B.
Operation
1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws.
For METAL, use high speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits and hammer action.
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
"back-up" block to prevent damage to the material.
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 drill firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
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
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL—THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimize stalling on 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 jam-
ming.
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 with-
out the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled
dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon-grease will also
serve the purpose.
NOTE: Large 5/16" (7.9mm) to 3/8" (9.5mm) holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole 5/32"
(4mm) to 3/16" (4.8mm) is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled
out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use power drill wood bits. Work that is apt to
splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Select "Hammer Action." Use carbide-tipped masonry bits. Keep even force on the drill but not so much
that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Chuck Removal
UNPLUG DRILL.
NOTE: Before attempting to remove chuck, shift the drill into the drilling mode (not hammer).
Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 1/4" (6.4mm) or greater size.
Using a soft hammer, strike the longer end in the clockwise direction, as shown in Figure 5. This will loosen
the screw inside the chuck.
Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if required) into front of chuck between jaws to
engage screw head. Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread). Place hex key in chuck as
shown in Figure 6. Using a soft hammer, strike key sharply in the counterclockwise direction. This will
loosen the chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand.
Chuck Installation
Screw chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Tighten the chuck around the shorter end of a 1/4" (6.4mm)
or larger hex key (not supplied). Strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with a soft hammer, as
shown in Figure 6. Firmly tighten screw inside chuck.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR TOUS LES OUTILS
• BIEN DÉGAGER LA SURFACE DE TRAVAIL. Des surfaces et des établis encombrés peuvent être la cause de
blessures.
• TENIR COMPTE DU MILIEU DE TRAVAIL. Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie. Ne pas s'en servir dans
des endroits humides ou mouillés. Bien éclairer la surface de travail. Ne pas se servir de l'outil en
présence de liquides ou de vapeurs inflammables. En effet, le moteur de tels outils génère habituellement
des étincelles et celles-ci peuvent enflammer les vapeurs.
• SE PROTÉGER CONTRE LES SECOUSSES ÉLECTRIQUES. Éviter tout contact avec des objets mis à la terre,
comme des tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières, réfrigérateurs et autres objets du genre. Prendre soin lorsqu'on
