Drill User Manual

Drilling in Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal.
These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips
from the flutes. For larger holes, use power drill wood bits. Work that is
apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even force on the
drill but not so much that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even
flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Chuck Key Holder
1. Push double-hole end of holder through slot in other end of holder.
(Figure 3).
2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw loop tight around cord
(Figure 4).
3. Push ends of chuck key handle through two holes in end of holder
(Figure 6).
Lubrication
All ball bearings used are factory lubricated to last the life of the
bearings. All needle bearings used receive their lubrication from the
grease in the gear case. Clean and re-lubricate gear case yearly or
whenever servicing requires the gear case to be removed. Use type
and quantity of grease shown on Parts Bulletin packed with your tool.
Gear case is removed by removing the three screws from the front of
the tool. If the chuck is too large to permit removal of the two top screws,
see instructions for chuck removal.
