Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
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.
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.

Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
• 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.
• 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.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turn-
ing the tool on. Awrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part ofthe tool may result in personal
injury.
• 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.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be usedfor appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workplece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct toolwill do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it isdesigned.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A toolthat cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in
the locked or off position before making any adjust-
reents, changing accessories, or stodng the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce risk ofstarting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
• 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.
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.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of part's,and any other condition that may
affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorlymaintained tools.
• Use only acceseorles 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.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified personnel could result ina risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the •aintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized partsor
failure to follow •aintenance Instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
• 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.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, ha sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord willcause a drop in line voltage result-
ing in loss of power and overheating.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
Under extreme continuous use, the batteries in your
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 1 hour before attempt-
ing to recharge. When the battery pack becomes dis-
charged and is hot, this will cause the red light on your
battery charger to flash. When battery pack cools down,
red light wUIglow continuously indicating fast charging
mode, 1 hour charge time. Once the battery pack cools
down, it will recharge battery pack in fast charging mode
as normal.
Note: This situation only occurs when extreme continuous
use of your drill causes the batteries to become hot. It
does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to
"CHARGING BATTERY PACK" for normal recharging of
batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack
and charger to your nearest Sears repair center for

or driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is
located on top of your drillto select either LO (1) or HI (2)
speed. When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed
will decrease and unit will have more power and torque.
When using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will
increase and unit will have less power and torque. Use
LO (1) speed for high power and torque applications and
HI (2) speed for fast drilling or driving applications.

A WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating
condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked
when not in use or carrying at your side.
REVERSIBLE
See Figure 13.
This tool has the feature of being reversible. The direction
of rotation is controlled by a selector located above the
switch trigger. With the drill held in normal operating
position, the direction of rotation selector should be
positioned to the left of the switch for drilling. The drilling
direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of
the switch. When the selector is in center position, the
switch trigger is locked.
,_ CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow
chuck to come to a complete stop before changing
the direction of rotation or the two speed gear train
(hi-lo).
To stop, release switch trigger and allow the chuck to
come to a complete stop.

KEYLESS CHUCK
See F'igure 14.
A keyless chuck has been provided with your drill to allow
for easy installation and removal of bits. As the name
implies, you can hand tighten or release drill bits in the
chuck jaws. Arrows on the chuck indicate which direction
to rotate the chuck sleeve in order to LOCK (tighten) or
UNLOCK (release) the chuck jaws. Loosen the chuck
sleeve by rotating it counterclockwise with one hand.
Insert drill bit straight into the chuck the full length of the
jaws, and tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve in
clockwise direction.
