INTRODUCTION

This tool has many features for making its use more pleasant and enjoyable. Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL

INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you

to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

n A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a

separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that

may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery. Use battery only with charger listed.

MODEL BATTERY PACK CHARGER

315.114850 ITEM NO. 9 11375 ITEM NO. 9 11041 (1323517 or 1323903) (1425301)

n Use battery operated tool only with specifically

designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries

may create a risk of fire. Use only with battery pack listed.

n Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords

immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

n Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while 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 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

n Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in

the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or

inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on, invites accidents.

n Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning

the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to

a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations. Do not use on a ladder or unstable support.

n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

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 tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

n Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-

port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the

work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

n Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your appli-

cation. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at

the rate for which it is designed.

n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A

tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

n Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch

in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce risk of starting the tool accidentally.

n Store idle tools out of reach of children and other

untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

n When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

n Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp

and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained tools.

n Use only accessories that are recommended by the

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool, may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning.

Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

SERVICE

n Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair

personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

n Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will

also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

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 with side shields. Ev-

eryday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of eye injury.

RULES FOR BATTERY TOOLS

n Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-

trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

n When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement

parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section

of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

n Do not place battery tools or their batteries near

fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and

possibly injury.

n Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the

presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.

n Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet loca-

tion. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric

shock.

n For best results, your battery tool should be

charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.

n Under extreme usage or temperature condi-

tions, 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 into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could result in electric shock.

n Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to

housing or internal parts.

n Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc.

come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

n An extension cord should not be used unless abso-

lutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could

result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord must be used, make sure:

a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the

same number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.

b. That extension cord is properly wired and in

good electrical condition; and

c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere

rating of charger as specified below:

Cord Length (Feet) 25' 50' 100'

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety

glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

LEVEL

See Figure 11.

A convenient feature provided with your drill is a level. It is recessed in the motor housing on top and end of your drill. It can be used to keep drill bit level during drilling operations.

DRILLING

See Figure 12.

When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from 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 until 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 tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start 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 or bit

breakthrough. 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 workpiece or if the drill stalls, release

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical

Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other part

may create a hazard or cause product damage.

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. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

BATTERIES

The battery pack for your drill-driver is equipped with nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.

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

Do not abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage tool as well as workpiece.

Only the parts shown on parts list, page 19, are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.

WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool

or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.

n Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.

Temperatures below 50°F or above 100°F will shorten battery life.

n Never store batteries in a discharged condition.

Recharge them immediately after they are discharged.

n All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the

temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.

To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of batteries properly.

This product contains nickel-cadmium batteries. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium batteries in ordinary trash.

Consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING

WARNING: Upon removal, cover the battery pack's

terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any of its components. Nickel-cadmium batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.

INTRODUCTION

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL IN-

STRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed

below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

n Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

n A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a

separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that

may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

n Use battery operated tool only with specifically des-

ignated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may

create a risk of fire.

n Use battery only with charger listed.

MODEL BATTERY PACK CHARGER

(1323517 or 1323903) (1425301)

n Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

PERSONAL SAFETY

n Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while 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 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

n Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the

locked or off position before inserting battery pack.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

n Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning

the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a

rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

n Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

n Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

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 tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

n Use clamps or other practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

n Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-

plication. The correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which it is designed.

n Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.

A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

n Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the

switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the tool accidentally.

n Store idle tools out of reach of children and other

untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

n When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

n Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp

and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-

ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

n Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools.

n Use only accessories that are recommended by the

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may

be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

n Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free

from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
