drill is mounted in a drill stand or otherwise firmly held. THE LOCKING FEATURE IS NOT FOR
USE WHEN DRILLING BY HAND. Be sure to release the switch lock button before disconnect-
ing the tool from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the tool to start immediately the
next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could result.
Chuck
To insert bit, open chuck jaws by turning collar with fingers and insert shank of bit about 3/4"
(19mm) into chuck. Tighten chuck collar by hand. Place chuck key in each of the three holes and
tighten in clockwise direction. It’s important to tighten chuck with all three holes.
To release bit ,
turn chuck key counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
Chuck Key Holder
NOTE: May be installed already.
1. Push double hole end of holder through slot in other end of holder as shown in Figure 3.
2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw loop tight around cord (Figure 4).
3. Push ends of chuck key handle through two holes in end of holder as shown in Figure 5.
Chuck Removal
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2. Place chuck key in chuck as shown in Figure 6.
3. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in a clockwise direction. This will
loosen screw inside chuck (Figure 6).
4. Open chuck jaws fully. Insert screwdriver (or 3/16", 5mm, hex wrench if required) into front
of chuck between jaws to engage screw head.
5. Remove screw by turning clockwise (left-hand thread).
6. Place key in chuck as shown in Figure 7.
7. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike key sharply in a counterclockwise direction.
This will loosen chuck so that it can be unscrewed by hand (Figure 7).
Drilling
1. Always turn off tool and disconnect from power supply when attaching or changing bits or
accessories.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole
saws. For METAL, use high speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as
brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use
a “back-up” block to prevent damage to the material.
4. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the drill
bit biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
5. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded. RELEASE TRIGGER IMME-
DIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIG-
GER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL – THIS CAN DAM-
AGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimize stalling on breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the
bit through the last fractional part of the hole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent
jamming.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat
unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use spade bits, power
auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is likely to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN METALS
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should
be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulphurised cutting oil or lard oil; bacon
grease will also serve the purpose.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even force on the drill but not so much
that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Lubrication
All bearings used are factory lubricated to last the life of the tool. All needle bearings used
receive their lubrication from the grease in the gear case. Clean and relubricate gear case year-
ly or whenever servicing requires the gear case to be removed. Use type and quantity of grease
shown on Parts Bulletin packed with your tool.
Gear case is removed by removing the three screws from the front of the tool. If the chuck is too
large to permit removal of the two top screws, see instructions for chuck removal.
Motor Brushes
TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY.
To inspect brushes, unscrew the plastic brush inspection caps (located in the sides of the motor
housing) and the spring and brush assemblies may be withdrawn from the tool. Keep brushes
clean and sliding freely in their guides. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into
them, and if the brush is worn down to a point where the symbol is not visible, they must be
replaced. New brush assemblies are available at authorized service centers.

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local deal-
er or authorized service center. If you need assistance in locating any accessory for your tool,
