VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4, page 11.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come
to a complete stop.
NOTE: A whistling or ringing noise coming from the switch
during use is a normal part of the switch function.
NOTE: Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 4, page 11.
Set the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center lock)
position to lock the switch trigger and help prevent accidental
starting when not in use.
Position the direction of rotation selector to the left of the
switch trigger for forward drilling. Position the selector to the
right of the switch trigger to reverse the direction.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop before changing the
direction of rotation.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Lock the switch when not in use or carrying at your
side, when installing or removing the battery pack,
and when installing or removing bits.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
See Figure 5, page 11.
 Lock the switch trigger.
 Insert the battery pack into the product as shown.
 Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap into place and battery pack is secured in the product
before beginning operation.
 Depress the latches to remove the battery pack.
For complete charging instructions, see the operator's manu-
als for your battery pack and charger.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 6 - 7, page 11.
The arrows on the keyless chuck indicate which direction to
rotate the chuck sleeve to tighten or release the bit.
Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
 To install bits, lock the switch trigger.
 Open or close the chuck jaws until the opening is slightly
larger than the bit size you intend to use.
 Raise the front of the drill slightly and insert the bit.
WARNING:
Make sure to insert the bit straight into the chuck
jaws. Do not insert the bit into the chuck jaws at an
angle, then tighten. This could cause the bit to be
thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious
personal injury or damage to the chuck.
 Rotate the chuck sleeve to close and tighten the chuck
jaws.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck sleeve with one hand and
use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws
on the bit. The chuck sleeve could slip in your
hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact
with the rotating bit. This could cause an accident
resulting in serious personal injury.
