part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
operate properly and performitsintended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Havedefective switches replaced
by authorizedservicecenter. Don’t
use tool
if switch does not turn it on and off.
19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact withgrounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
20. REPLACEMENTPARTS. Whenservicing, useonly identicalreplacementparts.

Installing or removingdriver bit
CAUTION :
When installing or removingthe bit, be careful not totouch the trigger switch.
To install the bit, place
it in the chuck as
far as it will go. Tighten the chuck by
hand. Place the chuck key in each of the
three holes and tighten clockwise.
Be sure to tighten
all three chuck holes
evenly.
To remove the bit, turn the chuck key
counterclockwise
in just one hole, then
loosenthe chuck by hand.
-Chuck kev
After use, return the chuck key to the
stroragecavity on the tool.

Holding tool
When drilling a large diameter hole, holdthe tool firmly with both hands.
Switchaction
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger.
Release the trigger tostop.
Reversingswitch action
This tool has
a reversing switch to change
the direction of rotation. Slide the revers-
ing switch to the right for clockwise rota-
tion or to the left for counterclockwise.
Reversing switch
CAUTION :
Always check the direction of rotation beforeoperation.
.Use the reversing switch only when the tool comes to
a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotationbeforethe tool stops may ruin the tool.
Drillingoperation
0 Drilling inwood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtainedwith wood drills equippedwith
a guide
screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pullingthe bit intothe workpiece.
To prevent the bitfrom slippingwhen startinga hole, makean indentationwith
a center-
punch and hammer
at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indenta-
tion and startdrilling.
Use
a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilleddry.
0 Drilling in metal

CAUTION :
Pressingexcessively on the toolwill not speed upthe drilling. Infact, thisexcessive pres-
sure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and
shorten the service life of the tool.
-There
is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit at the time of hole breakthrough.
Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bitbegins tobreak throughthe workpiece.
.A stuck bit can be removed simply by settingthe reversingswitch toreverse rotation in
order toback out. However,the tool may back out abruptly if you do nothold
it firmly,
0 Always secure smallworkpieces in a vise or similar hold-downdevice.
Screwdr ivingoperation
Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and apply pressure to the tool. Start
the tool.
Release the switch trigger just as the screw bottomsout. Ifthe switchtrigger is
not released, the screw may strip out the hole or the screw and/or bitmay be damaged.
