Lubrication System (Fig. A, F)
Filling the Coolant Bottle

WARNING: Do not pour cutting fluid into the
bottle while mounted in the bracket. Do not allow
cutting fluid to enter the drill motor. Electric shock
may result.

WARNING: Do not allow cutting fluid to enter
the battery port or come in contact with the
battery pack.
nOTE: If battery comes in contact with cutting fluid wipe
it off immediately. The cutting fluid used with this drill
may compromise certain battery pack housings. It is highly
recommended that battery packs with oil resistant housings
(glass filled nylon, designated by a G suffix in the model
number) be used.
nOTE: The lubrication system is designed for dispensing
cutting fluids specifically intended for drilling. Other liquids
may damage the system.
1. Turn the the flow regulator
to close.
2. Remove coolant bottle

3. Unscrew the cap 18
4. Fill the container with cutting coolant diluted with water.
5. Screw the cap back on.
6. Place coolant bottle into magnetic coolant bottle

Fitting the Lubrication System (Fig. A, F)

WARNING: Do not use the lubrication system in
vertical surfaces or overhead drilling applications.
Only use the lubrication system for horizontal drilling
applications, as shown in Figure A.
1. Place coolant bottle 14
bracket 13 , then slide the magnetic coolant bottle
bracket onto the either side of the magnetic coolant
bottle attachment point
2. Attach the coolant tube
connector 16 on the gearbox.
a. Unscrew the nut 19
the nut through the end of the coolant tube
b. Press the coolant tube onto the coupling
connector 16 first, then use a wrench to tighten
the nut.
c. To remove, unscrew the nut and then pull the coolant
tube from the coupling connector.
nOTE: After the coolant tube has been removed,
tighten the nut on the coupling connector to prevent
losing it.
In order to use the lubrication system, the coolant bottle
must be filled with a sufficient amount of cutting fluid.
Lubrication in Horizontal Applications
(Fig. F)
1. Adjust the fluid flow as required using the flow
regulator 17 .
2. Add more cutting fluid if the shavings become blue.

WARNING: Always use the safety chain.

WARNING: Never attach the safety chain through the
carry handle.
Feed the provided safety chain

Inserting and Removing an Accessory
(Fig. G)
The tool holder accepts annular cutters with a Weldon 3/4"
shank with two flats.

CAUTION: Laceration hazard. The cutter teeth
are sharp.
1. Slide the pilot pin
the cutter shank.
2. Push up on the 3/4" Weldon quick‑change chuck
3. Insert the cutter
meets the locking pin. When the flat meets the locking
pin the collar will snap down.
4. Check that the cutter is securely held in the arbor.
5. Lift the 3/4" Weldon quick‑change chuck to release
the cutter.
Three‑Jaw Chuck (Fig. G)
A 3‑jaw chuck
various bit sizes. Refer to Inserting and Removing an
Accessory for installation instructions.
1. Place chuck key
tighten in clockwise direction. It's important to tighten
chuck with all three holes to prevent slippage.
2. To release bit, turn chuck key counterclockwise in just
one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
nOTE: It may be necessary to adjust the motor position
when chuck is installed. Please refer to Adjusting the Motor
Height for instructions.

appropriate accessories.
Magnet Engagement Lever (Fig. N)
The magnetic strength can be switched by using the magnet
engagement lever
Moving the magnet engagement lever towards the middle
position increases the magnetic power to 15%. This is a
feature to provide some user assistance while securing the
unit into place.

Moving the magnet engagement lever to the left position
increases the magnet power to 100%.
With the magnet engagement lever positioned to the
right the magnetic power is turned off. When moving the
handle from the left to the right the collar
must be lifted to move out of either 100% engaged or
15% engaged.
