TO INSTALL/REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2, page 12.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
To install:
Place the battery pack in the tool. Align the raised rib on
the battery pack with groove in the battery port.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that the battery pack is secured in the
tool before beginning operation.
To remove:
Depress the latches on both sides of the battery pack to
release the battery pack and remove it from the tool.
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore,
switch should always be locked when not in use or car-
rying at your side.
SWITCH TRIGGER
See Figure 3, page 12.
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
VARIABLE SPEED
This tool has a variable speed switch trigger that delivers
higher speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed is con-
trolled by the amount of switch trigger depression.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the
switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal
part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 3, page 12.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill
held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation
selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger
for forward drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when
the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the OFF (center
lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental start-
ing when not in use.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
To prevent gear damage, always allow chuck to come
to a complete stop before changing the direction of
rotation.
To stop the drill, release switch trigger and allow the chuck
to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. 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.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4, page 12.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill bits
in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which
direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten)
or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand. Ro-
tate the chuck body with your other hand. This chuck has
a racheting design that allows the user to hear a series of
"clicks" while tightening the jaws. This "clicking" will stop
once the chuck and jaws are secure.
WARNING:
Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use the
power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill
bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand or your hand
could slip and come in contact with rotating drill bit. This
could cause an accident resulting in serious personal
injury.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BITS
See Figures 4 - 5, page 12.
To install:
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation
selector in the center position.
Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the open-
ing is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use.
Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from
falling out of the chuck jaws.
Insert the drill bit.
