Installing Bits into Keyed Chucks
Be sure that the shank of the bit and the chuck

Operating
Position the tool, grasp the handles fi rmly and pull
the trigger. Always hold the tool securely using
both handles and maintain control. This tool has
been designed to achieve top performance with
only moderate pressure. Let the tool do the work.
If the speed begins to drop off when drilling deep
holes, pull the bit partially out of the hole while the
tool is running to help clear dust. Do not use wa-
ter to settle the dust since it will clog the bit fl utes
and tend to make the bit bind in the hole. If the bit
should bind, a built-in, non-adjustable slip clutch
activates. If this occurs, stop the tool, free the bit
and begin again.
