DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

•  Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•  Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING LONG DRILL BITS

•  Never operate at a higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
•  Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
•  Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the product’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock. NOTE: Servicing a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used. When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket. Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. Check extension cords before each use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use the product with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:

•  Drilling in all types of wood products (lumber, plywood, paneling, composition board, and hardwood)
•  Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates
•  Drilling in metals

SWITCH TRIGGER
To turn the drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.

VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed switch delivers higher speed with increased trigger pressure and lower speed with decreased trigger pressure.
NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal part of the switch function.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)

The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the drill held in a normal operating position, the direction of the rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock) position helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use.

NOTICE: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation. To stop the drill, release the switch trigger and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop. The drill will not run unless the direction of the rotary selector is pushed fully to the left or right. Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.

KEYLESS CHUCK

The drill has a keyless chuck that makes it simple to tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws. Grasp and hold the collar of the chuck with one hand. Rotate the chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.

WARNING:

Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury. Always unplug the tool when installing or removing bits, adjusting settings, or when the tool is not in use. Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting and serious personal injury.

**INSTALLING BITS

**

•  Unplug the drill.
•  Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.
•  Insert the drill bit (not included).

WARNING:

Make sure to insert the drill bit straight into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the chuck jaws at an angle then tighten, as shown in figure 3. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck. Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

REMOVING BITS

•  Unplug the drill.

•  Open the chuck jaws.
  NOTE : Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the arrow marked UNLOCK to open the chuck jaws. Do not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.

•  Remove the drill bit.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

• Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct setting (forward or r.)reserve
• Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit r.setato
• Plug the drill into the power supply. Hold the drill firmly and.
• Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
• Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
• When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
•  When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
•  If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage. Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this product for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the product using compressed air.

LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
