General Power Tool Safety Warnings
_ WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury,
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tooL Distractions can cause you to lose control
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) 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. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
d) 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.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating apowertool in adamp location is unavoidable,
use a ground fault circuff interrupter (GFCl) protected
supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment orbinding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power toors operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, 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.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.
Additional Specific Safety Instructions
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of
control can cause personal injury.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Wear ear protectors with impact drills. Exposure to noise can
cause hearing loss.
• 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.
• Wear safety goggles or other eye protection. Hammering and
drilling operations cause chips to fly. Flying particles can cause
permanent eye damage.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This
will enable better control of the tool
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Loose clothes, jewel/ery or long hair can be caught inmoving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG
or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge
number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is
16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

AWARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting
operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT"
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
AWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California 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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
i_,WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust,
which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other
injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face
and body.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI $12.6 ($3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.

hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Trigger Switch (Fig. 1)
Depressing the trigger switch (D)turns the tool on, releasing the trigger
switch turns the tool off.
VARIABLE SPEED
A variable speed trigger switch permits speed control--the farther the
trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of the drill.
NOTE" Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch,
drilling in metal, plastics or ceramics. Higher speeds are better for
drilling wood and composition boards.
Forward/Reverse Button (Fig. 1)
A forward/reverse button (C) determines the direction of the tool. It is
located in front of the trigger switch.
To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch (D) and depress
the forward/reverse button on the right side of the tool.

rotation, you may hear a click on start up. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
OPERATION
_WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect ff from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
The bit rotates clockwise when the tool is in the forward position and
counterclockwise when the tool is in the reverse position. If the bit
binds, the tool will slow to a manageable level. Using proper hand
position, brace the side handle (I)or tool body against a stud for better
support (Fig. 3).
Drilling
/_ WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS
ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin
material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the
material
1. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits,
power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use steel twist drill bits
or hole saws.
2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push hard enough to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting action of the
drill.
4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or
improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT
CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START
A STALLED DRILL -- THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of
the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled
hole. This will help prevent jamming.
7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch
the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and
accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the hole is deep
enough to drill without the bit skipping out.
DRILLING IN METAL
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying
firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates
the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel can be
made easier ifa pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying
firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same
twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter
should be backed up with a block of wood.
Chuck Key Holder (Fig. 6, 7, 8)
1. Push double-hole end of holder through the slot in other end of
holder (Fig. 6).
2. Slip loop over electric plug and draw loop tight around cord
(Fig. 7).
3. Push ends of chuck key handle (long end first) through two holes
in end of holder (Fig. 8).
FIG. 6 FIG. 7
FIG. 8
Keyed Chuck
Open the chuck jaws by turning collar by hand and insert the shank of
the bit about 3/4" (19 mm) into chuck. Tighten the chuck collar by hand.
Place chuck key in each of the three holes, and tighten in clockwise
direction. It's important to tighten chuck with all three holes. To release
the bit, turn the chuck counterclockwise in just one hole, then loosen the
chuck by hand.
NOTE: When using hex shank or three sided shank bits be sure to align
the flat sides of the bit with the chuck jaws to ensure the bit is properly
engaged by the jaws.
REMOVAL OF KEYED CHUCK (FIG. 9)
Remove the left-handed clutch screw using a T25 torx wrench,
rotating clockwise to loosen.Tighten the chuck around the shorter
end of a hex wrench (not supplied) of 3/8" (10 mm) size. With the tool
braced securely, use a soft hammer and strike the hex wrench sharply
in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front of the
tool. This will loosen the chuck so that it can be removed by hand.
KEYED CHUCK INSTALLATION (FIG. 10)
Screw the chuck on by hand as far as it will go. Insert the shorter end
of a hex wrench (not supplied) of 3/8" (10 mm) size and strike it in
the clockwise direction with a soft hammer. Reinstall the left handed
clutch screw.
