connector, then plug in the charger to the
CAUTION
:
The battery inyour new tool is notfully charged. You will need to charge it beforeuse.
Do not operate the tool during charging.
Overcharging more than 2 days considerably shortens the battery service life. Always
unplugthe charger after completingthe charge. Then cap the chargingconnector hole.
When you charge a new tool or a tool which has not been used for a longperiod, it may
not accept
a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
You can recharge
the tool fully after discharging it almost completely a couple of times.
Installingor removingdrillbitor driver bit
Always
set the reversingswitch lever tothe neutral position before installingor removing
the bit.
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
loosen the chuck by hand.

Drillingoperation
Drillinginwood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equippedwith
a guide
screw. The guidescrew makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.
To prevent the bit from slippingwhen starting
a hole, makean indentationwith a center-
punch and hammer
at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit inthe indenta-
tionand start drilling.
Use
a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilleddry.
Drillingin metal
CAUTION
:
*Pressing excessivelyon the tool will not speed up the drilling. Infact, this excessive 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 bit begins to break through the workpiece.
A stuck bit can be removed simply by settingthe reversingswitch to reverse rotation in
order to back out. However,the tool may back out abruptly if
you do nothold it firmly.
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-downdevice.
Screwdrivingoperation
Place the p6int of the driver bit in the
screw head and apply pressure to the tool.
Start the tool.
Release the trigger just as
the screw bottoms out. If the trigger is not
released, the screw may strip out the hole
or the screw and/or bit may be damaged.
