Inserting and removing bits
This drill has a keyless chuck,
which means that a chuck key
is not needed to secure a bit in
the drill.
1. Open the chuck by holding
the rear section of the chuck
firm and rotating the front
section in a anti-clockwise
direction, sufficiently enough to
allow the drill bit required
to fully enter the jaws of the
chuck.
2. Ensure the drill bit is fully
inserted, so that the chuck
jaws grip the straight section
of the bit.
3. Holding the rear section of the
chuck firmly, rotate the front
section of the chuck clock-wise
until the jaws tighten on the
drill bit. The front section of the
chuck needs to be tightened
firmly to ensure the drill bit is
held securely.
4. To remove the drill bit, hold the rear section of the chuck
firmly and rotate sharply the front section of the chuck in
a anti-clockwise direction, sufficiently enough to allow the
drill bit to be removed.
Note: Drill bits are not supplied with this kit.
Drilling

Drilling wood
• Clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work to
prevent splintering.
All drilling operations
• Mark off the centre of the hole using a centre punch or nail.
• Don’t force the drill, let it work at its own pace
• Keep the drill bit sharp.
• Reduce pressure, as the drill is about to break through
the item being drilled.
Chuck replacement
The chucks of reversible drills are always fixed by a screw
with a left-hand thread. The screw, which is located in the
centre of the chuck, must be removed before the chuck can
be removed. To remove the screw, turn it in a clockwise
direction. The chuck can now be removed by unscrewing it
anti-clockwise. If you have trouble removing the chuck take
the drill to your nearest authorised service centre for chuck
replacement.
CAUTION. Always ensure that the drill is switched off
and the battery pack is removed before making any
adjustments.
