NOTE:
Do not change gears when the tool is running. If you
are having trouble changing gears, make sure that the dual
range gear shifter is either completely pushed forward or
completely pushed back.
Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (g. 5)
Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating sleeve for
one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit or other
accessory, follow these steps.
1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position as previously
described.
2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck with one hand and
use the other hand to secure the tool. Rotate the sleeve
counterclockwise far enough to accept the desired
accessory.
3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm (3/4") into the chuck
and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve
clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the
other. Your tool is equipped with an automatic spindle lock
mechanism. This allows you to open and close the chuck
with one hand.
To release the accessory, repeat step 2 above.
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 result. Always lock
off trigger switch when changing acces sories.
Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and
one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness.
CHUCK REMOVAL (FIG. 6)
Turn the adjustment collar to the “drill” position and gear
shifter to position 1 (low speed). Tighten the chuck around the
shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 6.35 mm (1/4") or
greater size. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike
the longer end in the clockwise direction, as shown. This will
loosen the screw inside the chuck.
Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if
required) into front of chuck between jaws to engage screw
head. Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand-thread).
Place hex key in chuck and tighten, as shown in Figure 6.
Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in
the counterclockwise direction. This will loosen the chuck so
that it can be unscrewed by hand.
CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 7)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go and insert
screw (left-hand thread). Tighten screw securely. Tighten the
chuck around the shorter end of a 6.35 mm (1/4") or larger
hex key (not supplied) strike the longer end in the clockwise
direction with a wooden mallet, as shown. Tighten the screw
once again by turning in a counterclockwise direction.
Drill Operation
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored
or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a
wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the
material.
Turn the collar to the drill bit symbol for drilling. Select the
desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the
speed and torque to the planned operation.
1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits,
spade bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use high-speed
steel (HHS) twist drill bits or hole saws.
2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill.
WARNING: The drill may stall if overloaded
causing a sudden twist. Always expect the stall.
Grip the drill firmly with both hands to control
the twisting action and avoid injury.
4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being
overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and
determine cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER
ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED
DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of
a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center
punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start
the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder
when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit
skipping out.
Operation as a Screwdriver
Select the desired speed/torque range using the dual range
gear shifter on the top of tool to match the speed and torque
to the planned operation.
Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you
would any drill bit. Make a few practice runs in scrap or
