REVERSIBLE
Your electric drill has the feature of being reversible.
The direction of rotation is controlled by a lever
located above the trigger switch. See Figure 1. With
drill held in normal operating position, the direction
of rotation le,er should be positioned to the right of
the switch for drilling. The drill direction is reversed
when the le,er is to the left of the switch. TH E
DESIGN OF THE SWITCH WILL NOT PERMIT
CHANGING DIRECTION OF ROTATION WHILE
DRILL IS RUNNING. RELEASE THE SWITCH TRIG·
GER AND ALLOW THE DRILL TO STOP BEFORE
CHANGING ITS DIRECTION. NOTE: THE TOOL
WILL NOT RUN UNLESS THE SWITCH LEVER IS
PUSHED FULLY TO LEFT OR RIGHT.
AUTO·CHUCK
Your electric drill also has the feature of an auto·
chuck. As the name implies, you can now install and
remove bits ",ithout the need for a chuck key to
tighten the chuck jaws.
We suggest that you practice with the auto·chuck
feature of your electric drill before installing a drill
bit and drilling holes, etc.
...WARNING ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
OR EYESHIELDS WHEN OPERATING YOUR
ELECTRIC DRILL FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN OBJECTS BEING THROWN INTO
YOUR EYES RESULTING IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY
TO CLOSE CHUCK JAWS
1.
Depress and release the switch trigger of your
drill to be sure it is in the "off" position before
connecting to power supply source.
2. Check the direction of rotation lever for correct
setting (forward or reverse). See Figure 1. Move
direction of rotation lever to "forward".
3. Plug your electric drill into power supply source.
4. Point the drill away from your body as shown in
Figure 2. Also, once you begin installing bits
(see page 5), raise the front of your drill slightly
to keep the drill bits from falling out of the chuck
jaws.
5. SLOWLY start your drill by gradually depressing
the switch trigger.
6. Grasp the sleeve of your drill's auto chuck as
shown in Figure 2 and pUll it toward the gear
housing. Note that the chuck jaws are closing.
When it appears that the chuck jaws have closed
to a point where the opening is sl ightly larger
than the drill bit you intend to use, release the
auto·chuck sleeve. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE
DAMAGE, DO NOT ALLOW THE CHUCK JAWS
TO CLOSEON THEMSELVES.
TO OPEN CHUCK JAWS
To open the chuck jaws, move the direction of rota·
tion lever to "reverse" and repeat procedures 3 thru 6
under "To Close Chuck Jaws". Note that the chuck
jaws are opening. When they have released your drill
bit, you should release the auto-chuck sleeve. TO
PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE, DO NOT ALLOW
THE CHUCK JAWS TO OPEN ALL THE WAY AND
RACHET.
VARIABLE SPEED
Your electric drill has a variable speed control selec.
tor designed to allow operator control of speed and
torque limits. See Figure 1. To increase the speed
and torque of your electric drill, hold your drill in nor.
mal operating position and turn the variable speed
control selector counterclockwise. Turn clockwise
to decrease the speed and torque of your electric
drill. If you desire to lock the switch on at a given
speed, pull the trigger of the switCh, push in the lock
butlon located on the side of the handle, then while
holding the lock button pushed in release the trig·
ger. Next, adjust the variable speed control selector
until the desired speed is reached. NOTE: IF THE
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL SELECTOR IS FULLY
TURNED IN THE CLOCKWISE DIRECTION, YOUR
DRILL MAY NOT RUN.
