Keyless chuck (Fig. G)
Warning! Make certain the lock-off button is engaged
to prevent switch actuation before installing or removing
accessories.
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck (4) with one hand and
use your other hand to rotate the front half (4a) in
the counterclockwise direction, as viewed from
the chuck end.
2. 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 accessory) 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.
SCREWDRIVING
For driving fasteners, the reversing button should be
pushed to the left. Use reverse (button pushed to the right)
for removing fasteners. When moving from forward to
reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.
On board bit storage
A bit storage slot (8) is built-in to the area just behind the
battery pack.
DRILLING
f Use sharp drill bits only.
f Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
"Safety Instructions".
f Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the "Safety Instructions".
f Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
"Safety Instructions".
f Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until
the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from
slipping out of it.
f 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.
f Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its
twisting action.
f Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill off and
on in an attempt to start it. Damage to the drill
can result.
f Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing
pressure and slowly drilling through the last part
of the hole.
f Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of
a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
f 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
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section.
Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack
the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates
the proper drilling rate.

pack being charged.
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before
inserting the battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack into the charger.
3. The green LED will flash indicating that the battery
pack is being charged.
4. The completion of charge is indicated by the green
LED remaining on continuously. The battery pack is
fully charged and may be used at this time or left on
the charger.
Note: Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible
after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For
longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is
recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
LEAVING THE BATTERY IN THE CHARGER
The charger and battery pack can be left connected with
the green LED glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep
the battery pack fresh and fully charged.
