OPERATION (Cant.)
IF YOU DESIRE NOT TO USE THE VARIABLE SPEED
CONTROL SELECTOR, TURN IT IN THE FULL
COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION. THIS WILL
ALLOW THE SPEED OF YOUR ELECTRIC DRILL TO
BE FULLY CONTROLLED BY THE AMOUNT OF
SWITCH TRIGGER DEPRESSION.
LOCK·ON SWITCH
The switch of your electric drill is equipped with a
"Iock·on" feature for added utility and convenience
when drilling in soft woods or soft metals. To lock·
on, simply depress the trigger of the switch, push in
the lock butlon localed on the side of the handle,
then while holding the lock button pushed in,
release the trigger.
To release the lock, depress the trigger and release
it. Do not lock the trigger on heavy jobs where the
drill may have to be stopped quickly. BE SURE THE
TRIGGER IS NOT IN THE "LOCK·ON" POSITION
BEFORE CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY.
INSTALLING AUXILIARY HANDLE
An auxiliary handle is packed with your drill for ease
of operation and to help prevent loss of control. It
may be installed on either side of your drill. To in·
stall, insert the hex head cap screw through the han·
die. Using a screwdriver, push on the head of the cap
screw in order to seat it into the molded portion of
the handle. Next, start the threads into the threaded
hole in the gear housing by turning the handle
clockwise. Tighten securely.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figure 3.
1. Depress and release the switch trigger of your
drill to be sure It is in the "Off" position before
connecting it to the power supply source.
2. Check the direction of rotation lever for correct
setting (forward or reverse). See Figure
1.
The
direction of rotalion lever on the switch should be
in its maximum forward position when installing
bits. It should be in its maximum reverse position
when removing bits.
3. Plug your electric drill into power supply source.
4. Raise your drill slightly and point it away from
your body as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
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 3 and pull it toward the gear
housing.IThis engages the auto·chuck). Note that
the chuck jaws are closing. When it appears that
the jaws have ciosed to a point where the open·
ing Is slightly larger than the bit size you intend
to use, release the auto·chuck sleeve. DO NOT
ALLOW THE CHUCK JAWS TO CLOSE ON THEM·
SELVES.
7. Insert your drill bit into chuck the full len
the jaws as shown in FI ure 4.
