DO NOT FORCE TRIGGER. SELECT FORWARD OR REVERSE BEFORE TURNING DRILL ON.
CHUCK & KEY OPERATION (DR200, DR400, DR500, DR600)
Turn chuck collar to open chuck jaws. Place bit in chuck as far as it will go. Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place
chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in clockwise direction (Fig. 2). Tighten chuck with all three holes
to prevent slippage.
KEYLESS CHUCK OPERATION (DR210, DR220, DR300, DR402)
DR220 - Single Sleeve Chuck with Automatic Spindle Lock -This tool is equipped with a feature that
automatically locks the spindle when the tool is not running. This anti-rotational feature is a normal condition
which allows for tightening or loosening of the chuck with one hand operation. Loosen the chuck by rotating the
sleeve counterclockwise (Fig. 3). Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by
rotating the sleeve in the clockwise direction as viewed from the chuck end.
DR210, DR300, DR402 - To attach accessories, grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your
other hand to rotate the front half in the counterclockwise direction. 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.
HAMMER ACTION (DR400, DR402, DR600)
Your drill has hammer action which is engaged by sliding the hammer/drill selector lever. To select hammering,
turn off the drill and rotate the lever shown in Figure 4 so that the arrow on the lever points to to the hammer
symbol on the drill housing. To select drilling, turn off the drill and rotate the lever so that the arrow on the lever
points to the drill symbol.
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.
DRILLING
• Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing accessories. When attaching accessories in the drill
chuck, it is important to securely tighten the chuck using all three holes to prevent slippage. When using a
keyless chuck, hand tighten firmly. .
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the safety instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the safety instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
• 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.
• Hold the drill firmly to control its twisting action..
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled
dry. The lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil. Bacon grease will also serve.
• When using twist drill bits to drill holes in wood, it will be necessary to pull the bits out frequently to clear chips
from the flutes.
• Plug in drill. Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

The cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon grease will also serve the
purpose.
DRILLING IN MASONRY (Shift drill into hammer mode as shown in Fig. 4)
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.
