Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4) with one hand and use

your other hand to rotate the front half in the counterclock-

wise direction, as viewed from the chuck end.

Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and

tighten securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and

rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as

viewed from the chuck end.

Warning! Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other ac-

cessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the

tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur

when changing accessories.

Dual range gearing (Figure F)

The dual range feature of your drill allows you to shift gears

for greater versatility. To select low speed, high torque setting

(position 1), turn tool off and permit to stop. Slide gear shifter

button (5) away from the chuck. To select the high speed, low

torque setting (position 2), turn tool off and permit to stop.

Slide gear shifter button towards the chuck.

Note: Do not change gears when tool is running. If you are

having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual range

gear button is either completely pushed forward or completely

pushed back.

Drilling/screwdriving

Select forward or reverse rotation using the forward/re-

verse slider (2).

To switch the tool on, press the switch (1). The tool speed

depends on how far you press the switch.

To switch the tool off, release the switch.

Hints for optimum use

Drilling

Use sharp drill bits only.

Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the

Safety Instructions.

Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as

instructed in the Safety Instructions.

Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the

Safety Instructions.

Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until

the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping

out of it.

Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough

pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall

the motor or deflect the bit.

Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting

action.

DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL

OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE

TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.

(Original instructions)

Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure

and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.

Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled

hole. This will help reduce jamming.

Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

Drilling in wood

Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used

for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and

should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips

from the flutes.

Drilling in metal

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions

are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting

lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.

Drilling in masonry

For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer

drilling position by aligning the symbol with the marking.

Slide the speed selector (5) towards the front of the tool

(2nd gear).

Screwdriving

Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.

If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small

amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.

Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line

with the screw
