Drill User Manual

3. Your tool will operate in either the forward direction (clockwise rotation)

for drilling holes, or the reverse direction (counter-clockwise rotation) for

releasing jammed drill bits. For counter-clockwise rotation, stop the

motor by releasing the trigger switch. Push the reversing switch (C) Fig.

4 for counter-clockwise rotation, release the jam, then return to the

switch to clockwise rotation for drilling.

NOTE: Never attempt to change the direction of rotation while the switch is

“ON”. To do so may damage interlock feature built into switch. Be sure that

the switch is “OFF” and the motor has completely stopped before changing

the direction of rotation.

4. VARIABLE SPEED – As the trigger switch is squeezed, the drill speed

increases.

HOW TO HOLD THE DRILL

The front end of tool may become “live” if the bit drills into live

wiring in a wall. To prevent accidental electrical shock, hold the drill as

shown in Fig. 5 or 6. Apply forward force on the pistol grip handle only,

and only with your hands.

An auxiliary handle is supplied with some models. Use the auxiliary handle

on those models during all drilling operations. Grasp the auxiliary handle

with one hand to resist rotational force ONLY.

HOW TO USE THE DRILL

1. Be sure that the chuck securely grips the drill bit. (See "INSTALLING

AND REMOVING DRILL BITS").

2. Set the REVERSING SWITCH for clockwise rotation.

3. Use a vise to hold the workpiece securely or clamp it in place prior to

starting the drilling operation.

A loose workpiece may spin and cause bodily injury.

4. Use a center punch to make a small dent in the workpiece at the

location where you want the hole.

5. Place the tip of the drill bit in that dent, hold the drill square with the

workpiece, and start the motor. Apply steady, even pressure to keep the

drill bit cutting. Too little pressure will keep the bit from cutting and dull

the edges due to excessive friction created by sliding over the surface.

Too much pressure may cause the bit to break or overheat

resulting in bodily injury or damaged drill bits.

BE ALERT and brace yourself against the twisting action of

the drill, should the bit jam in the work.
