Chuck Removal (Fig. 6)
Turn the adjustment collar (D) to the "drill" position and gear shifter (E) to position 1 (low speed). Tighten the chuck around the shorter end
of a hex key (not supplied) of 1/4" (6.4 mm) or greater size. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike the longer end in the clockwise
direction, as shown. This will loosen the screw inside the chuck. Open chuck jaws fully, insert Torx screwdriver into front of chuck between jaws
to engage screw head. Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread). Place hex key in chuck and tighten, as shown in Figure 6. Using
a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in the counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be unscrewed
by hand.
Chuck Installation (Fig. 7)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go and insert screw (lefthand thread). Tighten screw securely. Tighten the chuck around the
shorter end of a 1/4" (6.4 mm) or larger hex key (not supplied) strike the longer end in the clockwise direction with a wooden mallet, as
shown. Tighten the screw once again by turning in a counterclockwise direction.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, place the forward/reverse button in the lock-off position
or turn the tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Drill Operation (Fig. 2)
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 (fig. 2, 8)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill. if models is not
equipped with side handle, grip drill with one hand on the handle (I) and one hand on the battery pack (H)
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. Turn
the collar (D) to the drill bit symbol for drilling. Select the desired speed/ torque range using the gear shifter
(E) to match the speed and torque to the planned operation.
1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bits
or hole saws.
2. 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.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the drill.
WARNING: The drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly with both hands to
control the twisting action and avoid injury.
4. 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.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of the
hole.
