! WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the drill, use proper circuit protection. The drill is wired at the factory for 120 V operation. It must be connected to a 120 V, 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way. POWER TOOL SAFETY ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1 FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage.
POWER TOOL SAFETY Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
POWER TOOL SAFETY SERVICE Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Tool service must be performed only by qualified personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in risk of injury. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.
EXTENSION CORD GUIDELINES Make sure your extension cord is the proper size. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough 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. The table at right shows the correct size to use according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
SYMBOLS ! WARNING: Some of the following symbols may be used on your tool. Please study them and learn their meaning. Proper interpretation of these symbols will allow you to operate the tool better and safer.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION DRILLING – cont’d 3. While holding the drill firmly, place the point of the drill bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. NOTE: Always use a higher drill speed when drilling small holes. Use a slower drill speed when drilling large holes. 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.
ASSEMBLY & OPERATION CHUCK REMOVAL To remove the chuck: 1. Remove the plug from the power source. 2. Remove the chuck screw using a #2 screwdriver (see Fig. 7). NOTE: Turn screw CLOCKWISE to remove it. This screw has a lefthanded thread. 3. Insert the hex key into the chuck and tighten jaws of chuck securely (see Fig. 8). Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction. This will loosen the chuck on the spindle. The chuck can now be unscrewed and removed from the spindle by hand.
