WAR N ING:
Make certain the lock-off
button is engaged to prevent switch actuation
before installing or removing accessories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the handle of the drill with one
hand and use your other hand to rotate
the chuck (4) in the counterclockwise
direction, as viewed from the chuck end.
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully
into the chuck, and tighten securely by
holding the handle and rotating the
chuck clockwise as viewed from the
chuck end.
ZLWARNING:
Do not attempt to tighten
drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping
the front part of the chuck and turning the tool
on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury
may occur when changing accessories.
ON BOARD BIT HOLDER (FIGURE G)
A screwdriver bit holder (8) is built into the
area just above the battery pack.
LED WORK LIGHT (FIGURE G)
When the drill is activated by pulling the trigger
switch (1), the integrated LED work light (9)
will automatically illuminate the work area.
NOTE: The work light is for lighting the
immediate work surface and is not intended
to be used as a flashlight.

DRILLING
• Ensure the forward/reverse button (2)
is pushed to the left and drill mode is
selected (Figure E). AUTOSENSE will
be deactivated.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
, Use appropriate and required safety equipment,
as instructed inthe Safety instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit
biting but not so much as to stall the motor
or deflect the bit.
zLWARNING:
When this tool is in drill
mode it may stall if overloaded,
causing a sudden twist.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands to
control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OFA
STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO
THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling
the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help
reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the
same twist drill bits used for metal or with
spade bits. These bits should be sharp
and should be pulled out frequently when
drilling to clear chips from the flutes.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulfurized
cutting oil or lard oil.
