Lock-On Button - Craftsman 10107 - 3/8 in. Corded Drill Operator's Manual

LOCK-ON BUTTON
See Figure 5.
This drill is equipped with a lock-on feature, which is
convenient for continuous drilling for extended periods of
time. To lock-on:
[] Depress the variable speed switch.
[] Push in and hold the lock-on button, located on the
side of the handle.
[] Release the variable speed switch.
[] Release the lock-on button and the drill will continue
running.
[] To release the lock, depress and release the variable
speed switch.
If the lock-on feature is engaged during use and the drill
becomes disconnected from the power supply, disengage
the lock-on feature immediately.
_ WARNING: Before connecting the drill to a power
supply source, always check to be sure it is not in
lock-on position (depress and release the variable
speed switch). Failure to ensure that it is not locked-
on could result in accidental starting of the drill
resulting in possible serious injury. Do not lock the
variable speed switch in applications where the drill
may need to be suddenly stopped.

[] Depress and release the variable speed switch to be
sure the drill is in the OFF position before connecting it
to a power supply.
[] Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
[] Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
[] Plug the drill into power supply. Hold the drill firmly and
place the bit at the point to be drilled.
[] Depress the variable speed switch to start the drill.
[] Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
