personal injury, ALWAYS use proper
hand position as shown.

Drill Operation (Fig. 1, 4)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS ensure
workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly.
If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-
up” block to prevent damage to the
material.
1. Turn the collar (Fig. 4, c) to the drill symbol.
2. Select the desired speed/torque range using
the gear shifter (Fig. 1, d) to match the speed
and torque to the planned operation.
3. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power
auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use
high-speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting,
but do not push hard enough to stall the motor
or deflect the bit.
5. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control
the twisting action of the drill. If model is not
equipped with side handle, grip drill with one
hand on the handle and one hand on the
battery pack.
CAUTION: Drill may stall if overloaded
causing a sudden twist. Always expect
the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the
twisting action and avoid injury.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because
it is being overloaded or improperly used.
RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of
stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND
OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimise stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the
bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm (3/4") into
the chuck and tighten securely by rotating
the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand
while holding the tool with the other. Your tool
is equipped with an automatic spindle lock
mechanism. This allows you to open and close
the chuck with one hand.
NOTE: Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand
on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the
tool for maximum tightness.
To release the accessory, repeat steps 1 and 2
above.
