SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: DRILLS
Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly used) causing a twist. Always
expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting action and
prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. If a stall does occur, release
the trigger immediately and determine the reason for the stall before re-starting.
ASSEMBLY
To reduce the risk of injury, before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged.
INSERTING A DRILL BIT OR OTHER ACCESSORY (FIGURE B)
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.
Always ensure the bit is secure before starting the tool. A loose bit
may eject from tool causing possible personal injury.
Your tool features a keyless chuck (4) for greater convenience. To insert a drill bit or
other accessory, follow the steps listed below.
• Grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the
front half counterclockwise, as shown in figure B. Rotate far enough so that the chuck
opens sufficiently to accept the desired accessory.
• Insert the bit or other accessory about 3/4 inch (19 mm) into the chuck and tighten
securely by holding the rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the
clockwise direction.
• To release the accessory, repeat step 1 listed above.
REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE CHUCK (FIGURE C)
• Open the chuck as far as possible.
• Remove the chuck retaining screw, located in the chuck, by turning it clockwise using a
screwdriver (lefthand thread).
• Tighten an Allen key of 1/4 inch or greater size (not supplied) into the chuck and strike it
with a soft hammer in a counterclockwise direction as shown.
• Remove the Allen key.
• Remove the chuck by turning it counterclockwise.
• To attach the chuck, screw it onto the spindle and secure it with the chuck retaining
screw.
