Changing Drill Bits
CautiOn! Wear heavy-duty work gloves to provide
protection when inserting and removing drill bits. Drill bits
become very hot during use. Do not remove drill bits until
the bit has cooled. Do not strike stuck bits with a hammer.
1. Pull back on the Chuck and insert or remove
the Drill Bit. If inserting the Drill Bit, make
sure it slides all the way into the opening.
2. Release the Chuck.
3. Check that the Drill Bit is secured in place. It
should not be able to be pulled out of the Chuck.
note: When drilling a hole larger than 1-1/4"
diameter, use a Drill Bit with four cutting edges.
Work piece 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 work pieces 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.
