rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

13. DISCONNECTTOOLS. When not inuse, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.
14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keysand adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
15. AVOID UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Don’t carry plugged-intoolwithfinger

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
movingparts, bindingof moving parts, breakageof parts, mounting, andany
other conditions ?hat may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized serv-
ice center unless otherwise indicatedelsewhere inthis instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don’t use
tool if switch does not turn
it on and off.
19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
20. REPLACEMENTPARTS. When servicing, useonly identical replacementparts.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tooltoa power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result inSERIOUS INJURYto the user
- as well as damage to

Selectingaction mode 1
For drilling, turn the change ring so that
the red dot
is aligned with the DRILL
marking on the collar. If the change ring
will not come all the way, grasp the chuck
and turn the change ring again. Do not
move the red dot beyond the DRILL mark-
ing.
For screwdriving, turn the change ring
so
that the red dot is aligned with the SCREW
marking on the collar. Do not move the red
CAUTION :
If you use the toolwhen the red dot is not
aligned with either marking, tool damage
may result. Be sure to align properly with
either marking before operation.

Installingor removingdrill bit or driver bit
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unpluggedbefore installing or 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.

CAUTION :
0 Always check the direction of rotation before drilling.
Use the reversing switch only when the tool comes to a complete stop. Changing the
direction of rotation before the tool stop may ruinthe tool.
Drilling operation
Turn the change ring
so that the red dot is aligned with the DRILL marking.
0 Drilling in wood
When drilling holes in the wood,
use a wood drill with a guide screw. The guide screw
makes
it bore naturally by itself, so you do not need to apply any pressure to the tool.
0 Drilling in metal
To prevent the bitfrom slipping when starting
a hole, make an indentation with a center-
punch and hammer
at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indenta-
tion and start drilling.
Use
a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
CAUTION
:
.Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive
pressure 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 break through.
Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins
to break through the workpiece.
0 Always grip the small workpiece firmly with a vise or a holding means.
0A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation
in order to back out. However. the tool will pull away easily unless
you hold itfirmly
before starting the tool.

Screwdriving operation
Turn the change ring so that the red dot
is aligned with the SCREW marking. Place
the point of the driver bit in the screw
head and apply pressure tothe tool.
When driving screws, start the tool slowly
and then increase the speed gradually.
