ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING AUXILIARY HANDLE
See Figure 2, Page 10.
An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of
operation and to help prevent loss of control. The auxiliary
handle may be installed at three different positions on the
drill body.
WARNING:
Always use the auxiliary handle when using this
tool to help resist torque reactions. Binding or
stalling of this product could lead to serious
personal injury.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer of this product.
The use of attachments or accessories not
recommended can result in serious personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use the product for the purposes listed below:
 Drilling in wood, hard metals, and soft metals
 Mixing paints and drywall compounds
SPADE HANDLE
See Figure 3, Page 10.
The spade handle can be rotated 360° for ease of use and
greater control of the tool. To adjust the spade handle, grasp
the handle and rotate it to the desired position.
NOTE: The spade handle is not to be used as an auxiliary
handle to resist torque reactions.
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 4, Page 10.
The variable speed switch trigger delivers higher speed with
increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased
trigger pressure.
To install the auxiliary handle:
 Insert the threaded end of the handle into one of the three
positions on the drill as shown in figure 2.
 Tighten the auxiliary handle at the desired angle by turning
the handle clockwise.
To prevent thread damage and possible loss of control, the
auxiliary handle should be checked periodically for tightness.
Do not operate the drill with the handle loose.
To turn the tool ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger and allow the coupler 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.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 4, Page 10.
This drill is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is
convenient for continuous drilling for extended periods of
time.
To lock-on:
 Depress the switch trigger.
 Push in and hold the lock-on button, located on the side
of the handle.
 Release the switch trigger.
 Release the lock-on button and the drill will continue
running.
 To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.
If the lock-on feature is engaged during use and the drill
becomes disconnected from the power supply, disengage
the lock-on feature immediately.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE)
See Figure 5, Page 10.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the tool
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger
for forward rotation. The direction is reversed when the
selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
