Operating Instructions
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger
switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can
be adjusted from the minimum to maximum
nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the
trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the
speed and release pressure to decrease speed
(Fig. 1).
"LOCK-ON" BUTTON
The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of
your tool allows for continuous operation at
maximum RPM without holding the trigger (Fig.
1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
If the “Lock-ON” button is
continuously being depressed,
the trigger can not be released.
FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &
TRIGGER LOCK
Your tool is equipped with a forward/reversing
lever and trigger lock located above the trigger
(Fig. 1). This lever was designed for changing
rotation of the chuck, and for locking the trigger
in an“OFF” position to help prevent accidental
starts. For forward rotation, (with the chuck
pointed away from you) move lever to the far
left. For reverse rotation move the lever to the
far right. To activate trigger lock move lever to
the center off position.
Do not change direction of
rotation until the tool comes to
a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the
chuck can cause damage to the tool.
! WARNING
INSERTING BIT
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert the bit
as far as it will go. Center the bit as you close
the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
KEYED MODELS
To tighten chuck, insert key into each of the
three key holes in succession and tighten
firmly. The chuck can be released by using one
hole only (Fig. 3).
KEYLESS MODELS
To tighten, hold the chuck collar firmly with one
hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve
with the other hand (Fig. 4).
To prevent friction burns, or
possible hand injury, do not
loosen or tighten the chuck by using the power
of the drill.
CHUCK KEY OR BIT STORAGE AREA
Keyed models are equipped with a chuck key
that is conveniently located in the handle base
where it is always handy and unlikely to get lost
or misplaced (Fig. 1).
