instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety
equipment, as instructed in the Safety
Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the
bit biting but not so much as to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands,
one hand on the handle, and the other
gripping the bottom around the battery
area or the auxillary handle if provided.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A
STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO
THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling
the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help
reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the
same twist drill bits used for metal or with
spade bits. These bits should be sharp
and should be pulled out frequently when
drilling to clear chips from the flutes.
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
sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer
to Drilling section. Keep even force on the
drill but not so much that you crack the
brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
LED Work Light
When drill is activated by pulling the
trigger switch (1), the integrated LED work
light (10) will automatically illuminate the
work area. NOTE: The work light is for
lighting the immediate work surface and is
not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Bit Tip Storage
Two magnetic bit storage slots (6) are built
into the area on the top of the tool.
Battery Fuel Gauge - Figure D
The tool is equipped with a battery fuel
gauge (9).
This can be used to display the current
level of charge in the battery during
use and during charging. It does not
indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components,
temperature and end-user application.
Checking battery charge during use:
• Press the battery fuel gauge button
(D1).
• The three LEDs (D2) will illuminate
indicating the percent of charge in the
battery (Figure D).
• If LED light does not lluminate, charge
battery.
NOTE: This battery is designed to not
operate when a charge below 20% of
its capacity is reached. After the battery
charge is depleted, the tool will not
operate until after the battery has been
recharged.
Belt Clip - Figure E
A belt clip (11) is provided which can be
switched to either side of the tool based
on user preference for convenient access
and storage during use.
• Place the front lip of the belt clip (E1)
into the indentation of the base (E2).
• Secure the belt clip with the supplied
screw and firmly tighten with a phillips
screwdriver.
CAUTION
:
reverse control button (2) is in the center
lock position before attaching tool to belt.
WARNING
serious personal injury, DO NOT
suspend tool overhead or suspend
objects from the belt hook. ONLY hang
tool's belt hook from a work belt.
WARNING
serious personal injury, ensure the
screw holding the belt hook is secure.
