  • Page 13: Auxiliary Handle

    The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on top of your drill to select either LO (1) or HI (2) speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will decrease and unit will have more power and torque.
  • Page 14: Removing Bits

    Open or close chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from fall- ing out of the chuck jaws.
  • Page 15 Insert the depth gauge rod through hole on the auxiliary handle. n Adjust the depth gauge rod so that the drill bit extends beyond the end of the rod to the required drilling depth. n Tighten the auxiliary handle securely. This secures the depth gauge rod at the desired depth of cut.
  • Page 16 If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury. When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
  • Page 17: Wood Drilling

    • Produce off-center or irregular shaped holes. n When drilling large holes in metal, we recommend that you drill with a small bit at first, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
