GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper­ated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA SAFETY
n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
n Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
n Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
n Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-
modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
n Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
n Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
n Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
n When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
n Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appro­priate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
n Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
n Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
n Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
n If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
n Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
n Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
n
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
n Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
n Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
n Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
n Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
n Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
n Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SERVICE
n Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is main­tained.
n When servicing a power tool, use only identi-
cal replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
n Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the cut­ting tool “live” and shock the operator.
n Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
n Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
n Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
n Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection dur-
ing extended periods of operation. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
n Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Center. Constantly stay aware of cord location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
n Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instruc­tions may create a risk of shock or injury.
WARNING! To reduce risk of injury, user must read
instruction manual.
be carefully checked to determine that it will op­erate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its opera­tion. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of shock, fire, or serious injury.
n Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom­mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line volt-
age resulting in loss of power and overheating.
n Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
n Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these instruc­tions also.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to deter­mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Labora­tories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

OPERATION
DRILLING
See Figure 5.
When drilling hard smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start the tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.
WARNING: Be prepared for binding at bit break-
through. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls, release the switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
LEVEL
See Figure 5.
This dril has a level on top of the motor housing. It can help to keep the drill bit level during operation.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi­cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accel­erated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bear­ings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi­cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
