1. When the switch is on the left side of the trigger, the bit
direction is forward (tightening).
2. When the switch is on the right side of the trigger, the bit
direction is reversed (loosening).
3. Put the switch in the OFF (center lock) position to help
decrease the possibility of accidental starting when not
operating.
WARNING
Release the trigger and let the chuck come to a complete
stop.
WARNING
Let the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation.
The machine does not operate until the forward / reverse
switch is pushed fully to the left or right.

DRILL MATERIALS

• When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch
to mark the desired hole location. This can prevent the
drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
NOTE
English
• When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep it from overheating. The oil can prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drilling action.
• If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill falls, stop to
use the machine immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and analyze the cause of the jam.
This drill has an electric brake. When the switch trigger is
released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake is
functioning properly, sparks can be visible through the vent
slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action of the
brake.
WOOD DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood drilling.
1. Operate the machine at a very low speed to prevent the
bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed
as the drill bit bites into the material.
2. When drilling through holes, put a piece of wood behind
the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the back side of the hole.
METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
1. Operate the machine at a very low speed to prevent the
bit from slipping off the starting point.
2. Hold consistent speed and pressure to avoid overheating
the bit. Applying too much pressure can: Overheat the
drill; Wear the bearings; Bend or burn bits; and Produce
off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
3. When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a large bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil
to improve drilling action and increase bit life.

MAINTENANCE

Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based materials
touch the plastic parts. Chemicals can cause damage to the
plastic, and make the plastic unserviceable.
Do not use strong solvents or detergents on the plastic
housing or components.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
maintenance.
