Operating Instructions
TRIGGER CONTROLLED VARIABLE SPEED
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool speed can be controlled
from minimum to maximum nameplate rated
RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger.
Apply more pressure to increase the speed and
release pressure to decrease speed (Fig. 1).
Your tool is also equipped with a “Lock-ON”
button located on the left side of the trigger
handle that allows for operation at maximum
RPM without holding the trigger (Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "LockON" button.
!
the trigger can not be released.
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit
as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close
the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten chuck, insert key into each of the
three key holes in succession and tighten
firmly. The chuck can be released by using one
hole only (Fig. 2).
To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with one
hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve
with the other hand (Fig. 3).
!
loosen or tighten the chuck by using the power
of the drill.

a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the
chuck can cause damage to the tool.
Your tool is equipped with a hip clip that allows
you to conveniently attach your drill to your belt,

hands free when climbing a ladder or
positioning material to be fastened.

Operating Tips
You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in contact
with the work before pulling the trigger. During
the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert
light, steady pressure. Too much pressure at
low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure
will keep the bit from cutting and cause excess
friction by sliding over the surface. This can be
damaging to both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature
will eliminate the need for center punches in
hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using a
slow starting speed, you are able to keep the
bit from “wandering”. You can increase the
speed as the bit “bites” into the work by
squeezing the trigger.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
Variable speed drills will double as a power
screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the
drill mode. The technique is to start slowly,
increasing the speed as the screw runs down.
Set the screw snugly by slowing to a stop. Prior
to driving screws, pilot and clearance holes
should be drilled.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
The procedure shown in (Fig. 4) will enable
you to fasten materials together with your
hammer drill in the drill mode without
stripping, splitting or separating the material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the
material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper
length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the
second hole the same diameter as the screw
shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink
the hole to make the screw flush with the
surface. Then, simply apply even pressure
when driving the screw. The screw shank
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.
DRILL BITS
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear.
Use only bits that are sharp and in good
condition.
TWIST BITS: Available with straight and
reduced shanks for wood and light duty metal
drilling. High speed bits cut faster and last
longer on hard materials.
CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling
stone, concrete, plaster, cement and other
unusually hard nonmetals. Use continuous
heavy feed pressure when employing carbide
tip bits.
The adjustable screw drill accessory will do
all of these operations quickly and easily.
Screw drills are available for screw sizes No.
6, 8, 10 and 12.

DRILLING WOOD
Be certain workpiece is clamped or anchored
firmly. Always apply pressure in a straight line
with the drill bit. Maintain enough pressure to
keep the drill “biting”.
When drilling holes in wood, twist bits can be
used. Twist bits may overheat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from flutes.
Use a “back-up” block of wood for work that is
likely to splinter, such as thin materials.
You will drill a cleaner hole if you ease up on
the pressure just before the bit breaks through

the wood. Then complete the hole from the
back side.
There are two rules for drilling hard materials.
First, the harder the material, the greater the
pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second,
the harder the material, the slower the speed.
Here are a couple of tips for drilling in metal.
Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with
cutting oil except when drilling soft metals such
as aluminum, copper or cast iron. If the hole to
be drilled is fairly large, drill a smaller hole first,
then enlarge to the required size, it’s often
faster in the long run. Maintain enough
pressure to assure that the bit does not just
spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and greatly
shorten its life.
Soft materials such as brick are relatively easy
to drill. Concrete however, will require much
more pressure to keep the bit from spinning. Be
sure to use carbide tip bits for all masonry work.
WARNING
!
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the
nameplate speed of the tool. Do not exceed
the recommended wheel diameter.
You will find the “Lock-ON” button feature a
convenience for the continuous operation
required for rough sanding. Fine sanding and
polishing require “touch”. Select the most
efficient speed.
When using polishing bonnets, alway be sure
the excess string that secures the bonnet is
tucked well within the bonnet during operation.
Work with brushes requires high speeds. Use
of the “Lock-ON” button feature will provide a
much easier operation.

SANDING AND POLISHING
WIRE BRUSHES
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the
BRUSHING PRESSURE
work. Operate the brush with the lightest
pressure so only the tips of the wire come in
contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires
will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping
action; and if this is continued, the life of the
brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way
that as much of the brush face as possible is
in full contact with the work. Applying the
side or edge of the brush to the work will
result in wire breakage and shortened brush
life.
CORRECT: Wire tips doing the work.
INCORRECT: Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attachments. The technique is to start
slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs
down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the
drill to a stop. If this procedure is not followed,
the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist
in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.
