BRUSH REPLACEMENT—(See Fig. 1)—IMPORTANT— BE SURE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY. Periodically check the brushes for wear and replace both brushes when either is worn to about 1/4 inch in length. To check length of brushes they must be removed from tool (see instructions below.) Replacement of these relatively inexpensive parts, when necessary, will keep your tool operating more efficiently and prolong the life of the motor.

To replace carbon brushes (Key #30)—See parts list, page 3— Remove two handle fastening screws (Key #35) and slide back handle to expose lower brush cap. The upper brush cap is readily accessible from the top of the drill. Unscrew brush cap (Key #31) and remove old brush and spring. Replace both brushes making sure when inserting that curvature of brush matches curvature of the surface of the motor to which it is mated. Make sure brushes move freely in holder.

Replace handle making sure leads (wires) are not in position to be pinched between handle and motor housing.

LUBRICATION —All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions, therefore, no further lubrication is required.

CHUCK REMOVAL—(See Figures 2, 3 & 4)—IMPORT-ANT—BE SURE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED FROM POWER SUPPLY. Insert lock pin into gear housing spindle lock hole. Rotate the chuck slowly to insure lock pin engages hole in spindle shaft. Close the chuck jaws. Insert chuck key in chuck and tap sharply with a soft mallet in a clock-wise direction, as shown in Figure 2. This tends to loosen chuck screw.

Open chuck jaws wide and remove chuck screw by turning in a clock-wise direction. See Figure 3. This screw has left hand threads.

Again insert chuck key in chuck and tap sharply in a counterclock-wise direction to loosen, as shown in Figure 4. Chuck can now be unscrewed by hand.

When replacing chuck make sure chuck spacer is in place on spindle against bearing and firmly secure chuck on spindle before tightening screw.

EXTENSION CORDS —The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent overheating and motor burn-out, use the table below to determine the MINIMUM wire size (A.W.G.) Extension Cord.

Extension Cord Length 25-100 Feet 100-200 Feet

Wire Size A.W.G.

Extension cords suitable for use with your drill are available at your nearest Sears Catalog Order or Retail Store.

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL Read owner's manual carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
GROUND ALL TOOLS UNLESS DOUBLE-INSULATED. If tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a three-hole electrical receptacle. If adapter is used to accommodate two-prong receptacle, the adapter wire must be attached to a known ground. (Usually the screw securing the receptacle cover plate.) Never remove third prong.
3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tool in damp or wet locations. And keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high or locked-up place out of reach of children.
8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Rubber
aloves and footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
11. USE SAFETY GLASSES with most tools. Also face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
12. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
14. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at all times, and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing; when changing attachments, blades, bits, cutters, etc.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.

CAUTION-

WHEN ELECTRIC TOOLS ARE LISED ON FIBERGLASS BOATS. sports cars, etc., it has been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. Consequently it is not recommended that this tool be used for continuous production work on any fiberalass material. During any use on fiberalass it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

THIS PRODUCT, or any electrical product, requires extreme care when service repairs are made. A dangerous electrical hazard can be created by tampering with the electrical or insulating systems or in the replacement or substitution of repair parts. Repairs should be made only by a qualified technician. If service is required we suggest you return the tool to your nearest Sears store for approved service with original factory replacement parts.

DISASSEMBLY of this tool can result in danaerous electrical hazard if any leads (wires) are pinched against metal surfaces or if grounding connection is not secure when tool is reassembled.

GROUNDING—This tool is equipped with an Underwriters' Laboratories approved 3 prong plug for your safety. If your outlet is a grounded 3cavity type, your tool will be arounded auto-

3/8 INCH ELECTRIC DRILL REVERSIBLE-VARIABLE SPEED WITH VARI-TRI-LOCK SWITCH MODEL NUMBER 315.11350

REVERSIBLE —This drill has the unique feature of being reversible. The rotational direction is controlled by a slide switch located below the trigger switch. When this switch is in the DOWN position, the drill runs in its normal drilling direction. The drill direction is reversed when the switch is in the "R" position. THE DIRECTION MUST NOT BE CHANGED WHILE THE TOOL IS RUNNING. Change direction only after the trigger switch is released and drill has completely stopped.

VARIABLE SPEED —Electronic trigger control switch delivers higher speed and higher torque with increased trigger pressure. The speed of your drill is controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression. Trigger switch is double pole for added safety and has safety release for added utility. Trigger depression disengages locking mechanism at either position.

For your convenience and ease of operation the trigger switch is designed with 'Vari-Tri-Lock' feature. This unique feature allows switch to be locked 'on' at three different speeds; 'Lo', 'Medium' and 'Hi'. The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications.

'Lo' speed is ideal for starting holes without center punching, paint mixing, drilling ceramics, as well as other applications where minimum speed and power is required.

'Medium' speed is suitable for drilling ferrous metals, plastics and laminates.

'Hi' speed produces best results in drilling wood, non-ferrous metals such as aluminum as well as driving accessories which require high speeds and maximum power.

AVOID RUNNING AT SLOW SPEEDS FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WHEN POSSIBLE. AT SLOWER SPEEDS UNDER CONSTANT PROLONGED USAGE, THE UNIT MAY BECOME OVERHEATED. SHOULD THIS OCCUR: RUN TOOL WITH NO LOAD AT MAXIMUM SPEED TO COOL THE UNIT. THIS WILL ACCELERATE COOLING PROCESS.
