1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
General Operating Instructions
WARNING! TO pREVENT SERIOUS INJURy:
Wear ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields during use. Do not wear gloves.
Hold Drill securely using both hands to control drill reaction to bit binding. Brace drill if practical.
Keep all body parts clear of any fixed objects which could be crushed during drill reaction to bit binding.
Use a scaffold when drilling overhead, do not use a ladder.
Only use sharp bits, use the proper bit for the job. Set Speed Switch to proper setting for bit being used.
Avoid drilling into knotty, warped, pitchy or wet workpieces or
workpieces that may have nails or other hidden objects in them.
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the
off-position, then plug in the tool.
2. Secure Drill:
a. Hold securely using both hands. Use one
hand to hold Bottom Handle and the other
hand to hold the Top or Side Handle, or
b. if practical, brace Drill against a solid fixed
object in addition to holding securely.
3. Touch Drill bit lightly against the
workpiece and squeeze the Trigger.
4. While the Drill is running, apply light pressure to
the Drill. Allow the tool to work at its own pace.
5. After the Drill bit cuts through the workpiece,
remove it while the Drill is still running. This
prevents the Drill bit from binding.

direction of bit rotation with force
capable of causing serious injury.

clutch will disengage the bit from the gears
and a clicking sound will be heard.
