_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible sedous injury, DRILLING See Figure 9. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. DO not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. _L WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury. When drilling metals, use a light oil on toe drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bR and increase the drilling action. If the bit jams in work, piece or it the drill stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming. LEVEL DRILLING See Figure 10. A convenient feature provided with your dritl is a level It is recessed in the motor housing on top of your drill. It can be used to keep drill bit level during drilling operations. When ddlling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the low speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your ddll at a low speed until the hole is started. The mater_l to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it from tumlog as the ddit bit rotates. Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool Fig. 10 11
CHUCK REMOVAL See Figures 11, 12, and 13. The chuck must be removed in order to use some accessodes.

_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible sedous injury, DRILLING See Figure 9. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. DO not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. _L WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury. When drilling metals, use a light oil on toe drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bR and increase the drilling action. If the bit jams in work, piece or it the drill stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming. LEVEL DRILLING See Figure 10. A convenient feature provided with your dritl is a level It is recessed in the motor housing on top of your drill. It can be used to keep drill bit level during drilling operations. When ddlling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the low speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your ddll at a low speed until the hole is started. The mater_l to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it from tumlog as the ddit bit rotates. Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool Fig. 10 11
CHUCK REMOVAL See Figures 11, 12, and 13. The chuck must be removed in order to use some accessodes. To remove: ⢠Lock the switch tdgger by placing the direction of rotation selector in center position, ⢠Insert a5/16inchorlargerallenwmnch(haxkey wrench) intc the chuck of your drill and tighten tha chuck jaws securely. ⢠Tap the a,an wretch sharply with a mallet in a c_ockwise direction. See Figure 11. This will loosen the screw in the chuck for easy removal MALLET KETLESS CHUCK ALLEN WRENCH Fig. 11 ⢠Open chuck jaws and remove allen wrench.

Tap sharply with a mallet in a counterclockwise direction. This will loosen chuck on the spindle, n can now be unscrewed by hand. See Figure 13. Fig, 13 TO RETIGHTEN A LOOSE CHUCK The chuck may become loose on spindle and develop a wobble. Also, the chuck screw may become loose causing the chuck jaws to bind and prevent them from closing. To tighten, follow these steps: ⢠Lock the switch tdgger by placing the direction of rotetion selector in center position. ⢠Insert allen wrench into chuck and tighten chuck jaws securely, Tap allen wrench sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction, This will tighten chuck on the spindle, ⢠Open the chuck jaws and remove allen wrench. ⢠"Rghten the chuck screw, Note: The chuck screw has left hand threads.
