DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric
power tools which eliminates the need for the usual
throe-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from intemal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WEARPROPERAPPAREL.Donotwearloose
clothingorjewelrythatcangetcaughtintool's
movingpartsandcausepersonalinjury.Rubber
glovesandnonskidfootwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from
being drawn into nearby air vents.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses.
PROTECT YOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord
or yank itto disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
•DON'T OVERRL_ACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support. Secure tools when working at
elevated positions.
II
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance,
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc,, all tools should be
disconnected from power supply.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that
keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from
tool before turning iton.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in,
• AKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.

tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for ex-
ample -SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits
minimize stalling and kickback.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM DRILLING AREA.
Keep hands away from bits. Do not reach
underneath work while bit is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove material while bit is rotating.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired by an authorized
service facility. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI J
CALLY and replace if damaged.
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FRO• OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.

If you desire not to use the variable speed control
selector, turn it in the full clockwise direction. This will
allow the speed of your drillto be fully controlled by
the amount of switch trigger depression.
Avoid running your ddll at low speeds for extended
pedods of time. Running at low speeds under con-
stant usage may cause your ddll to become over-
heated. If this occurs, cool your ddll by running it
without a load and at full speed.
The following guidelines may be used in determining
correct speed for various applications:
Low speed is ideal when minimum speed and power
is required. For example: starting holes without center
punching, ddving screws, mixing paint, and drilling in
ceramics.
Medium speed is-suitable for drilling hard metals,
plastics, and laminates.
High speed produces best results when maximum
power is required. For example: drilling in wood; soft
metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper; and
when using driving accessories.

Fig. 10
•Depress and release the switch trigger to be sure
your drillis in off position before connecting it to
power supply.
•Check the direction of rotation lever for correct
setting (forward or reverse). See Figure 3.
•Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates.
Plug your drillinto power supply source.
Hold your drillfirmly and place the bit at the point
to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start your drill, Do not
lock the switch on for jobs where your drill may
need to be stopped suddenly.
Move the drill bit into workpiece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not
force your drill or apply side pressure to elon-
gate a hole. Let your drill and bit do the work.
See Figure 10.
When drilling, hard smooth surfaces use acenter
punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent
the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is
started. However, the variable speed feature allows
starting holes without center punching if desired. To
accomplish this, simply operate your drill at a low
speed until the hole is started.
,_ 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 the drill bit to
keep itfrom overheating. The oil will prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drillingaction.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if ttle drillstalls, stop the
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece
and determine the reason for jamming.

_i, WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 15, are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts represent an important part of the
double insulation system and should be serviced only
at a Sears Service Center.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon
dust, etc.
_i, WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic. *"
It has been found that electric tools are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electdc tool parts such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not
recommended that this tool be used for extended
work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
matedals it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
_1= WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust. If operation is
dusty,,also wear adust mask.
LUBRICATION
All ofthe beadngs in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to aminimum and to prevent
tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
Awire gage size .(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less
in length. When working outdoors, use an extension
cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord'sjacket
will be marked WA.
ACAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the
drilling area and position the cord so that itwill
not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during
drilling operation.
WARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use
tool with adamaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your drill are
available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
