WOOD DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood drilling.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit
from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed
as the drill bit bites into the material.
When drilling through holes, place a block of wood
behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered
edges on the back side of the hole.
METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields when using compressed air
to clean tools. If the operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the tool when cleaning
or performing any maintenance.

OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
19.2 V lithium-ion bat-
®
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit
from slipping off the starting point.
Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much pres-
sure will:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with
oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F and away from moisture.
Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as
normal.
For nickel-cadmium batteries:
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is
fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F.
Store battery packs in a "discharged" condition.
