WARNING Always tighten drill to drill winch driver
shaft. Drill can come loose and cause injury.
3) If using a corded drill/driver, verify that
power cords and extension cords are
positioned so that the winch rope or moving
load will not damage the cords or that
cords can not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
If using the driver bit accessory, make
WARNING
sure to insert bit straight into your drill's chuck jaws.
Do not insert bit into chuck jaws off center. This could
cause bit to be thrown from drill, resulting in possible
personal injury or damage to the chuck.
Step 3: SPOOL OUT WINCH ROPE.
Freespooling is generally the quickest and
easiest way to spool out winch rope.
WARNING Always keep hands clear of winch
rope, hook loop, hook and fairlead opening during
installation, operation, and when spooling in or out.
Always ensure the clutch is fully
WARNING
engaged or disengaged.
Never operate winch with less than 5
WARNING
wraps of rope around the drum. Rope could come loose
from the drum, as the rope attachment to the drum is
not designed to hold a load.
1) Disengage the clutch by rotating clutch
dial to 'unlock' position.
2) While always keeping tension on the
winch rope spool enough winch rope for
the winching operation.
Spooling Alone: Attach the rope hook
with hook strap to load and walk the
Drill Winch away from load point.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Spooling with an Assistant: Have the
person handling the rope hold the hook
strap and walk the winch rope away
from the Drill Winch while spooling out
the winch rope.
Step 4: DETERMINE ANCHOR POINT AND
SECURE.
Always be certain anchor will withstand
WARNING
load, use appropriate rigging and take time to rig
correctly.
1) Choose an anchor point that is sufficiently
strong enough to withstand the maximum
winching capacity of your winch.
NOTE: Choose an anchor point as far away
as possible to provide the winch with its
greatest winching power. A secure anchor
is critical to winching operations. An anchor
must be strong enough to hold while
winching. Natural anchors include trees,
stumps, and rocks. Remember to hook the
winch rope as low as possible.
2) Secure the Drill Winch anchor hook to the
anchor point.
NOTE: You may combine any of our approved
rigging accessories with the anchor hook for
added stability.
Never wrap winch rope
WARNING
back onto itself. Use a choker chain or
tree trunk protector on the anchor.
Step 5: PLAN YOUR PULL.
Always avoid continuous side pulls
WARNING
which can pile up winch rope at one end of the drum.
This can damage winch rope or winch.
1) Line up your pull as straight as possible.
This prevents side pulls that can allow the
winch rope to rub on the fairlead. Side
pulls cause the winch rope to stack up at
one end of the drum. This can damage
the winch rope or the Drill Winch.

Step 6: SECURE TO THE LOAD.
1) Establish a load point. Often a load does
not have a secure load point. It may be
necessary to secure the load with a choker
chain or strap.
Step 7: ATTACH THE CLEVIS/D-SHACKLE.
1) If using a strap, attach the shackle to the
two ends of the strap being careful not
to over tighten the shackle (tighten and
back-off 1/2 turn).
2) Secure the shackle into the throat of the
Drill Winch rope hook.
Step 8: PUT WINCH ROPE UNDER TENSION.
1) Engage clutch by rotating clutch dial to
the 'lock' position.
2) Press the rotation control switch on your
drill/driver to the forward/clockwise
position.
3) Use the trigger control to slowly wind
the winch rope in until no slack remains.
Tensioning in the winch rope will keep
the winch rope from "bird nesting" and
binding. Make sure rope is winding from
the top of the winch.
4) Once the winch rope is under tension,
stand clear, and never step over the winch
rope.
Step 9: CHECK YOUR LOAD.
1) Ensure all connections are secure and
free of debris before continuing with
winching.
Winching
The following steps describe how to operate the
Drill Winch after it has been properly rigged.
Step 10: LAY SOMETHING OVER THE
WINCH ROPE.
1) In the interest of safety, consider hanging
a dense fabric (WARN Damper) midway
between the Drill Winch and the load
point to absorb energy should the winch
rope or load point snap loose.

Step 11: MAKE YOUR INTENTIONS CLEAR.
Always ensure the operator and
WARNING
bystanders are aware of the stability of the load.
1) Be sure that everyone in the immediate
vicinity surrounding the winching
operation is completely aware of your
intention before you winch.
2) Declare where the spectators should not
stand—never behind, in front of or under
the load and never near the winch rope.
Establish "no people" zones
Step 12: BEGIN WINCHING.
1) With clutch in lock (engaged) position,
press the rotation control switch on your
drill/driver to forward/clockwise position.
2) With light tension already on the winch
rope, begin pressing the trigger on your
drill/driver and start slowly and steadily
winching in.
NOTICE Avoid over heating the drill motor. For extended
winching, stop at reasonable intervals to allow the drill
motor to cool down.
