PRECAUTIONS ON USING DRILL

1. When mounting the drill bit or driver bit, insert it
fully into the drill chuck and completely tighten the
drill chuck with the chuck wrench.
If mounting is not done properly, it is very dangerous
as the drill bit may slip or loosen during operation.
2. Do not wear gloves made of stuff liable to roll up
such as cotton, wool, cloth or string, etc.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, inviting serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source. Use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Check the tightening of the drill chuck
The drill chuck has been tightened at the factory,
but check again that it is in order before use.
Turn the drill chuck clockwise to tighten.

(1) The speed is adjustable from zero to maximum
speed according to the extent the trigger switch is
pulled.
(2) The maximum speed is adjustable from zero to
2800 min
(3) Turn the adjusting knob clockwise for higher speed
and counterclockwise for lower speed. (Rotate the
adjusting knob approximately 1-2/3 turns.) (Fig. 1)
(4) The switch can be locked with the stopper at any
required position irrespective as to how far the
adjusting knob has been rotated. Select a proper
position according to the required speed for each
work.
3. Confirm the direction of bit rotation (Fig. 2)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the reversing switch
lever. The L-side of the lever is pushed to turn the
bit counterclockwise.
CAUTION:
Never change the direction of bit rotation during
operating.
Turn the power switch OFF before changing the
direction of bit rotation.
4. For use as a drill
(1) Mounting drill bit
Tighten drill bit with the chuck wrench. There are
three holes in which the chuck wrench should be
inserted. Tighten them equally in turn at three holes,
without tightening them only at one hole. The drill
