2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use the low speed setting and

twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL,

use the low speed setting and steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For

MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder block, etc., use high speed

setting and carbide-tipped bits rated for percussion drilling.

3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If

drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage

to the material.

4. 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.

5. Hold tool firmly to control the twisting action of the drill.

6. 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 OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED

DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.

7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce

pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part of

the hole.

8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled

hole. This will help prevent jamming.

9. 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

USE ONLY in the “low speed” gear range. 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" to 1/2") holes in steel can be made easier if a

pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16") is drilled first.

DRILLING IN WOOD

USE ONLY in the “low speed” gear range. 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.

DRILLING IN MASONRY

When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion

drilling and be certain that the bit is sharp. Ensure that the hammer mode

is selected. Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most

effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

Keyless Chuck

Open chuck jaws by turning the collar

with your fingers and inserting the shank

of the bit about 3/4" (19 mm) into the

chuck. Tighten the collar

clockwise

while depressing the spindle lock button

A (Fig. 4) on the right side of the tool

housing. To release a bit, turn the collar

counterclockwise while depressing the

spindle lock button.

CAUTION: Do not depress lock button while operating drill or while

the chuck is moving. Always lock off trigger switch when changing

accessories.

Chuck Removal

Always wear eye protection.

Slide the dual range gear button to position 1. Tighten the chuck

around the shorter end of a hex key (not supplied) of 1/4" or greater

size. Using a wooden mallet or similar object, strike the longer end in

the clockwise direction, as shown in FIG. 5. This will loosen the screw

inside the chuck.

Open chuck jaws fully, insert screwdriver (or Torx tool if required) into

front of chuck between jaws to engage screw head. Remove screw by

FIG. 4
