GENERAL POWER SAFETY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS EYE, EAR & LUNG PROTECTION – cont’d WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT. WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities.
! WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
POWER TOOL SAFETY PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Use the power tool, accessories, and tool bits etc.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES ! WARNING: Know your drill. Do not plug the drill into the power source until you have read and understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SAFETY ! WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools, or any other obstructions while you are working with the power tool. Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough gauge to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING KNOW YOUR DRILL Speed Control Dial Trigger Switch 11
INSTALLING AUXILIARY HANDLE AND D HANDLE reverse switch to the left. To make the drill rotate counter-clockwise, push the forward/reverse switch to the right. ! WARNING: The auxiliary handle and D handle must be installed as it will provide additional control over the drill during heavy drilling operations. NOTES: a) Never change the position of the forward/ reverse switch while the chuck is turning.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING you have set the speed you desire, when the switch is completely depressed and the “LockOn” button engaged, the tool speed will change to the speed you dialed in. To Pre-set a desired RPM, pull the switch back completely and engage the “Lock-On” button. Maintain a firm grasp on the running drill with one hand and use your free hand to rotate the “speed control” clockwise or counter-clockwise until the desired drill speed is reached.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTALLING DRILL BITS – cont’d DRILLING When drilling in smooth hard surfaces such as metal, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. The workpiece to be drilled should be secured in a vice or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates (Fig. 8). Fig. 7 REMOVING BITS 1. Remove the drill plug from the power source. 2.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING DRILLING – cont’d DRIVING SCREWS 4. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill bit or apply sideways pressure to elongate the hole. When driving screws, care must be taken to use the bit that correctly fits the screw being driven. Make sure you use the largest bit size that will properly fit into the head of the screw. 1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the screw being driven. 2.
MAINTENANCE CHUCK REMOVAL – cont’d 4. Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex key. 5. Open the chuck jaws as far as possible. RETIGHTENING A LOOSE CHUCK After installing the chuck once it has been removed, the chuck may become loose on the spindle and develop a wobble. Also, the chuck screw may become loose, causing the chuck jaws to bind and prevent them from closing. To tighten the chuck, follow these steps: 6. Remove the chuck screw using a #2 screwdriver (Fig. 11).
MAINTENANCE REPLACING CARBON MOTOR BRUSHES GENERAL MAINTENANCE The carbon motor brushes will wear down and require replacing. The time intervals between replacements will vary depending upon the working environment and the hours of use. It is recommended that the brushes be checked after each 10 hours of use. When the length of the carbon brush reaches 1/4" (6.35 mm), the brushes should be replaced. ! WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
