SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
General Instructions for Use
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the
off-position, then plug in the tool.
2. Set Direction Switch to desired position.
• For clockwise (forward) rotation, push it to
the left, next to the forward pointing arrow.
• For counterclockwise (reverse) rotation, push it
to the right, next to the backward pointing arrow.
CAUTION! Most drill bits are designed for use in
the forward, clockwise direction. Do not use a drill
bit in the opposite direction than it is designed for.
NOTICE: Do not change mode
selection while Chuck is rotating.
3. For continuous drilling, squeeze Trigger, then press
Trigger Lock Button on side of handle and release
Trigger. To release lock, briefly squeeze Trigger.
CAUTION! Use this continuous drill function ONLY
when drilling soft materials.
Do not drill or hammer drill hard materials such as
steel or concrete with Lock Button pressed (ON).
If drill bit catches on material, the high torque will
cause the tool to twist around without stopping.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY: Use both hands during use.
4. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Metal Drilling Tips
1. Use high speed steel, carbide or
specialty bits for metal drilling.
2. Secure workpiece to keep it from moving
during the drilling operation.
3. Use a center punch (not included) to
create a dimple for the bit to start.
4. Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from wandering/
skating away from your starting point.
5. As hole is established, increase speed.
Do not use so much pressure that bit heats up.
This can damage bit and create irregular hole.
For hard metal, use cutting oil to keep bit cool.
6. When drilling large holes in metal,
start by drilling a smaller pilot hole,
then using a larger bit for the final size hole.
Wood Drilling Tips
1. Use high speed bits or bits specially
designed for wood drilling, such as
brad point, spade bits, forstner bits, etc.
2. Secure workpiece to keep it from moving
during the drilling operation.
3. Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from
wandering away from starting point.
Increase speed as hole is established.
4. To prevent or reduce “break out” when bit
penetrates work piece, clamp a piece of
scrap material to back of work piece.
5. Do not lock Trigger in the ON position,
as the bit can easily jam in wood and
motor must be stopped quickly.
