the handle counterclockwise.
3. Slide the side handle clamping band over the
chuck and onto the cylindrical section at the
front end of the power tool.

gaged in the groove provided on the power
tool.
Secure the side handle by turning the grip clock-
wise.
6.2 Use of extension cords and generators or

7. Operation
CAUTION
In the event of the drill bit sticking, the power tool
will pivot about its own axis. Always use the power
tool with the side handle fitted and hold it securely
with both hands so that the resulting opposing force
causes the slip clutch to release in the event of the
drill bit sticking. Use clamps or a vice to hold the
workpiece securely.
