USING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE ASSEMBLY
See Figures 6 - 7.
An auxiliary handle is packed with the drill for ease of
operation and to help prevent loss of control. The handle can
be rotated 360°, and it can also be mounted on the opposite
side for left hand use.
To adjust the auxiliary handle assembly,

Loosen the handle assembly by turning the handle
counterclockwise.
 Rotate the auxiliary handle assembly to the desired
operating position.
 Securely tighten by turning the auxiliary handle
clockwise.
Be sure the auxiliary handle is securely tightened against the
depth stop clamp. This secures the depth stop rod at the
desired depth of cut. It also secures the auxiliary handle.
NOTE: For convenience and ease of starting threads, the
hex nut has been trapped inside the molded slot in the
auxiliary handle.
The depth stop rod helps control the depth of drilled
holes.
NOTE: When properly installed, the teeth on the depth stop
rod should be aligned with the teeth indicator on the depth
stop clamp.
Adjust the depth stop rod so that the drill bit extends beyond
the end of the rod to the required drilling depth.
When drilling holes with the depth stop rod installed, the
desired hole depth has been reached when the end of the
rod comes in contact with the surface of the workpiece.
