Confirm that the trigger switch is "OFF". Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same
as that shown on the specification plate of the drill. Connect the drill to the power source.
2.
Squeeze the trigger switch (A) Fig. 1 to start the motor. Release the trigger switch to stop the
motor.
3.
A switch-lock button (B) Fig. 1 is provided to keep the motor running without holding the
trigger switch "ON".
A.
To LOCK the tool in the "ON" position, squeeze the trigger switch, push in and hold the
lock button while releasing the trigger switch.
B.
To RELEASE the switch-lock button, squeeze the trigger switch and release.
NOTE: The switch-lock button can be engaged only when the drill is running at maximum speed.
Never use the switch-lock button when the drill may have to be stopped
suddenly.
4.
This tool will operate in either the forward direction (clockwise rotation), or the reverse direction
(counter-clockwise rotation). ALWAYS allow the motor to completely stop before reversing the
direction. For CLOCKWISE rotation, depress the right end of the switch button (C) Fig. 1. For
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE rotation, depress the left end of the switch button.
5.
VARIABLE SPEED: As the trigger switch is squeezed, the drill speed increases.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING DRILL BIT
1.
The three-jaw chuck is designed for self-centering of the bit. Open the jaws by turning the
outer sleeve (B) Fig. 2 counterclockwise (when viewing the chuck from the bit end) so that the
bit shank can be inserted easily.
2.
Clean and insert the smooth end of the bit as far as it will go into the chuck, then withdraw the
bit approximately 1/16", or up to the flutes for small bits.
3.
While holding the bit with one hand, turn the outer sleeve (B) Fig. 2 clockwise until the chuck
grips the bit.
4.
Tighten the chuck by holding the chuck ring (A) Fig. 2 with one hand while turning the outer
sleeve (B) clockwise with the other hand. Tighten securely.
5.
To remove the bit, reverse the procedure.
HOW TO HOLD THE DRILL

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE.
Do not operate the drill motor while installing or removing bits. Operating the
drill motor can cause a bit to be thrown from chuck causing personal injury.
The front end of the drill may become live if the tool drills into live wiring.
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK, hold the drill as shown
in Fig. 3. Apply forward force on the pistol grip handle only, and only
with your hands.
