TOOL OPERATION
Switch
To start drill, depress the trigger switch, shown in Figure 1. To stop drill,
release the switch. To lock the trigger switch in the ON position for continu-
ous operation, depress the trigger switch and push up the locking button.
The tool will continue to run. To turn the tool OFF, from a locked ON condi-
tion, squeeze and release the trigger once. Before using the tool (each time),
be sure that the locking button release mechanism is working freely.
Do not lock the switch ON when drilling by hand so that you can instantly
release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole. The locking button is for
use only when the drill is mounted in a drill press stand or other wise held
stationary. Be sure to relase the locking mechanism before disconnecting

the plug from the power supply. Failure to do so will cuase the drill to start
immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.
The variable speed trigger switch permits speed control. The farther the
trigger switch is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a centerpunch, drilling in
metal, plastics or ceramics, or driving screws. Higher speeds are better for
drilling in wood and composition board and for using abrasive and polishing
accessories.
The reversing lever is used to reverse the drill for backing out screws or
jammed bits. It is located above the trigger, shown in Figure 2. To reverse
the drill, turn it OFF and push the reversing lever to the left (when viewed
from the chuck end). To position the lever for forward operation, turn the
drill OFF and push the lever to the right.

Chuck
To insert bit, open chuck jaws by turning collar with fingers and insert shank
of bit about 3/4" into chuck. Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place chuck key in
each of the three holes and tighten in clockwise direction. It's important to
tighten chuck with all three holes. To release bit, turn chuck key counter-
clockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
