General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Switch/Trigger is in
the off-position, then plug in the tool.
2. Press the Direction Switch of the Trigger to
determine the rotation direction. Press to the
left side for clockwise rotation. Press to the
right side for counterclockwise rotation.
3. Squeeze the Trigger to start the tool. The Trigger
has a variable speed feature. Moving the Trigger
slightly will make the tool operate slowly, moving the
trigger more will cause the tool to operate faster.
4. You can lock the Trigger in the ON position
by squeezing the trigger, pressing in the
Lock Button, and releasing the Trigger. The
tool will operate continuously. To stop the
tool, squeeze and release the Trigger.
5. Use only well-sharpened bits that are in good
condition and appropriate to the task.
6. Use firm pressure when drilling, but do not press
too hard. Too much pressure will cause the bit to
overheat, may cause the bit to bend or break, cause
undue strain on the tool, and may damage the
workpiece. Pressing too hard may stall the motor.
7. If the motor stalls, release the Trigger
immediately to prevent damage to the tool.
8. Only drill in a straight line. Bending or twisting
the bit while drilling may cause the bit to bend
or break and may damage the workpiece.
9. Back off your pressure if you are about to
penetrate the other side of the workpiece.
10. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit out of
a completed hole to prevent the bit from jamming.
