ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your drill has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of more than 10 percent will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.

Your drill is equipped with a "lock-on" feature, which is convenient when continuous drilling for extended periods of time is required. To lock-on, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on button and your drill will continue running.
OPERATION VARIABLE SPEED VARIABLESPEED CONTROLSELECTOR See Figure 5. Your drill has a variable speed control selector designed to allow operator control and adjustment of speed and torque limits. The speed and torque of your drill can be increased or decreased by rotating the variable speed control selector in the direction of the arrows shown in figure 5.
OPERATION TO INSTALL BITS See Figure 7. 1. UNPLUG YOUR DRILL. 2. 3. Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the drill bit you intend to use. Also, raise the front of your drill slightly to keep the drill bits from falling out of the chuck jaws. Insert drill bit into chuck the full length of the jaws. 4, Tighten chuck jaws securely, using only the chuck key provided. DO NOT USE A WRENCH TO TIGHTEN OR LOOSEN THE CHUCK JAWS.
OPERATION When drilling hard, smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. 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. CHUCK CHUC JAWS_ If the bit jams in the workpiece or if your drill stalls, stop the tool immediately.
MAINTENANCE GENERAL Only the parts shown on parts list, page 13, are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts represent an important part of the double insulation system and should be serviced only by a qualified Sears service technician. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
