IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY

TOOLS

Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an
electdcal outlet; therefore, they are always in

operating condition. Be aware of possible
hazards when not using your battery toolor

when changing accessories.
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH

YOUR BATTERY TOOL. Do not substitute any
other charger. Use of another charger could
cause battedes to explode causing possible

serious injury.

DONOT PLACE BATTERY TOOLS OR THEIR
BATTERIES NEAR FIRE OR HEAT. They may

explode.
DO NOT CHARGE BATTERY TOOL IN A

DAMP OR WET LOCATION.

Your battery tool should be charged in a location
where the temperature ismore than 50°F but

less than 100°F.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,

battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in
contact with your skin, wash immediately with
soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice
or vinegar. If liquid gets in your eyes, flush them

with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then
seek immediate medical attention.

If carrying your battery tool at your side, make
sure it is notrunning and your finger is noton the
switch. Avoid accidental starting.

SECURE WORK before applying power. NEVER
hold workpiece in your hand or across your legs.

WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your ddll-driver continuously, the batter-

ies in your battery pack will become hot. You should
let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30
minutes before attempting to recharge.

Note: This situation only occurs when continuous use
of your drill causes the batteries to become hot. It

tools. Failure to do so could result in objects
being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible

serious injury.

,_ WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with your

drill-driver to make you careless. Remember that
a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to

inflict severe injury.

CHARGING BATrERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a

low charge condition to prevent possible problems.

Therefore, you should charge it at least 5 hours prior
to use.

Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (drilling
followed by recharging) for them to become fully

charged.
TO CHARGE

• Charge battery pack only with the charger and

charging stand provided.

• Connect charger to charging stand by inserting

charger plug into inputjack. See Figure 1.

• Make sure power supply Is normal house

voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.

• Connect charger to power supply.

• Place battery pack in charging stand. Align raised

ribon battery pack with groove in charging stand.

Sea Figure I.

• Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on

battery pack engage properly with contacts in

charging stand.

• When properly connected, the red light on charging

stand will turn on.

• Note: If charger does not charge battery pack,

return battery pack, charging stand, and charger to
your nearest Sears Repair Center for electrical
check.

• After normal usage, 3 hours of charging time is

required to be fully charged. A minimum charge
time of 5 hours is mquirsd to recharge a completely

discharged tool.

• The battery pack will become slightlywarm to the

touch while charging. This is normal and does not

indicate a problem.

• Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or

cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.

CAUTION: Your battery pack contains special
high temperature batteries to help prevent battery

damage when left on charge for extended periods
of time. However, once the batteries become fully

TO ADJUST TORQUE

• Identify the four torque indicator settings
located on the front of your drill. See Figure 9.

_1= WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or

safety glasses with side shields when operating

tools. Failure to do so could result in objects

serious injury.

DRILLING

See Figure 11.

When ddlling hard smooth surfaces use a center
punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent

the ddll bitfrom slipping off center as the hole is
started. However, the low speed feature allows
starting holes without center punching if desired. To
accomplish this, simply operate your drill at a low
speed untilthe hole is started.

The matedal to be drilled should be secured in a vise
or with clamps to keep itfrom tuming as the drill bit

rotates.

Hold tool firmlyand place the bit at the point to be
ddlled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool.

Move the drill bit intothe workplace applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.

When drilling metals, use a lightoil on the ddllbit to
keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of

the bit and increase the ddlling action.
If the bitjams inworkpiece or ifthe ddll stall_, release

switch trigger immediately. Remove the bitfrom the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

CHUCK REMOVAL

See Figures 12, 13, and 14.

The chuck must be removed in order to use some
accessories. To remove:

• Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of

rotation selector in center position.

• Insert a 5/16 inch orlarger allenwrench (hex key

wrench) intothe chuck of yourdrilland tightenthe
chuckjaws securely.

• Tap the allen wrench sharply with a mallet in a

clockwise direction. See Figure 12. This will
loosen the screw in the chuck for easy removal.

• Insert allen wrench in chuck and tighten chuck
jaws securely. Tap sharply with a mallet in a

countemlockwise direction. This will loosen chuck
on the spindle. It can now be unscrewed by hand.

See Figure 14.

TO RETIGHTEN A LOOSE CHUCK

The chuck may become loose on spindle and develop
a wobble. Also, the chuck screw may become loose

causing the chuck jaws to bind and prevent them from
closing. To tighten, follow these steps:

Lock the switchtrigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in center position.

Insert allen wrench into chuck and tighten chuck

jaws securely. Tap allen wrench sharply with a

mallet in a clockwise direction. This willtighten
chuck on the spindle.

Open the chuck jaws and remove allen wrench.

• Tighten the chuck screw. Note: The chuck screw

has left hand threads.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

Craftsman replacement pads. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic pads.
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.

_1= WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,

gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic pads. They

batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not
disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the
batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when

weadng rings and jewelry, could result in a serious

burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest
the following:

• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.

Temperatures above normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.

• Never store batteries ina discharged condition.

Recharge them immediately after they are
discharged.

• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The

higher the temperature the quicker they lose their

charge. If you storeyour tool for long periods of
time without using it, recharge the batteries every
month or two. This practice will prolong battery.

To preserve natural resources, please

recycle or dispose of expired battery

pack properly.
This product contains nickel-cadmium

battery. Must be disposed of properly.
Local, state, or federal laws may

prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium
batteries in ordinary trash. Consult

your local waste authority for
information regarding available
