CHUCK
Fig. 11
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. How ever, 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 toot.
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.
A 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 couid cause loss of
control when breaking through material. If not
prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.

BATTERIES

Your drill’s battery pack is equipped with 11 nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from éach 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:
■ Store and charge your batteries in a coo! area. Temperatures above normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
■ Never store batteries in a 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 store your tool tor long periods of time without using it. recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.
