OPERATION
NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
KEYLESS CHUCK
See Figure 4, page i.
The drill has a keyless chuck to tighten or release drill
bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate
which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK
(tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.
WARNING: Do not hold the chuck with one hand
and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck
jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in
your hand, or your hand could slip and come in
contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an
accident resulting in serious personal injury.
TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN (HI-LO)
See Figure 5, page i.
The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located on
top of the drill to 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.
ADJUSTABLE TORQUE CLUTCH
This product is equipped with an adjustable torque clutch
for driving different types of screws into different materials.
The proper setting depends on the type of material and the
size of screw you are using.
ADJUSTING TORQUE
See Figure 6, page i.
There are twenty-four torque indicator settings located on
the front of the drill.
 Rotate the adjusting ring to the desired setting.
• 1 - 4 For driving small screws
• 5 - 8 For driving screws into soft material
• 9 - 12 For driving screws into soft and hard
materials
• 13 - 16 For driving screws into hard wood
• 17 - 20 For driving large screws
• 21- For heavy drilling
BIT STORAGE
See Figure 7, page ii.
When not in use, bits provided with the drill can be placed
in the storage area located on the base of the drill.
INSTALLING BITS
See Figures 8 - 9, page ii.
 Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of
rotation selector in the center position.
 Open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the
opening is slightly larger than the bit size you intend to
use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the
bit from falling out of the chuck jaws.
Insert the drill bit.
WARNING: Make sure to insert the drill bit straight
into the chuck jaws. Do not insert the drill bit into the
chuck jaws at an angle then tighten, as shown in fig-
ure 9. This could cause the drill bit to be thrown from
the drill, resulting in possible serious personal injury
or damage to the chuck.
Tighten the chuck jaws securely on the bit.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked LOCK to close the chuck jaws. Do not
use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
REMOVING BITS
See Figure 8, page ii.
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rota-
tion selector in the center position.
Open the chuck jaws.
NOTE: Rotate the chuck body in the direction of the
arrow marked UNLOCK to open the chuck jaws. Do
not use a wrench to tighten or loosen the chuck jaws.
 Remove the drill bit.
DRILLING
See Figure 10, page ii.
A level is located on the top of the motor housing to help
keep the drill bit level during use.
 Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).
 Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
 Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
 Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let
the tool do the work.
