IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating this
product may result in serious personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not reach over or across running machines,
hoses, cords, etc.
6.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-
elry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7.Work Safe. Operate tool a safe distance from
yourself and others in the work area. Keep
proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
overreach, especially on ladders. Be certain
ladders being used are sturdy, stable, on a rm
surface and erected as safe working angles.

hoses, cords, etc.
8.Inspect before every use; do not use if parts
are loose or damaged.
9.Do not alter this product in any way.
10. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt
to force a small tool or attachment to do the
work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a
tool whose performance is not adequate for
your work. Do not modify this tool and do not
use this tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
11. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
12. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic
elds in close proximity to heart pacemaker
could cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition, people with
pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented – it
prevents sustained electrical shock.
13. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
14. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
15. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
16. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
17. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a
GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Use power tool ONLY on adequately
rated circuits to avoid overheating of
electrical systems.
18. Prevent accidental starting. Ensure switch is in
the “OFF” position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or car-
rying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch “ON” invites accidents.
19. Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
20. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions
may create a risk of shock or injury.
21. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
22. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from

OPERATING THE DRILL
OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH
WARNING: Never tape the trigger switch
down to provide continuous high speed.
The tool may fail under such conditions
causing fire or personal injury.
Squeeze the trigger switch to turn the tool
“ON”. Release the trigger switch to turn
the tool “OFF”. The amount of pressure put
on the trigger will vary the speed of the drill.
Fully pressing the trigger will increase the
rpms to maximum.
When drilling for extended periods, the
“Lock-On” switch may be used, but do not
use this switch in situations where the drill
is likely to bind or kickback. If kickback
does occur, the sudden motion of the tool
may make it difcult to release the “Lock-
On” switch and turn the drill off.
REVERSING SWITCH LEVER
NOTICE: Be sure the trigger is released
when changing the position of the lever.
Always check the direction of the Drill’s
rotation before use.
The reversing switch lever reverses the
rotation of the drill bit. It is located just
above the trigger switch. ALWAYS turn the
motor off and let the bit come to a
complete stop before moving the switch.
Move the switch to the right for a forward
rotation of the bit. Move the switch to the
left to put the bit into reverse.
CAUTION: Do not change the direction
of a moving bit. Make sure the bit comes
to a complete standstill before moving
switch. Changing direction while the bit is
moving can cause damage to the drill.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
BIT INSERTION
• Unplug the drill. Never change bits on a
live drill.
• Make sure the bit is undamaged,
sharp and free from wood or metal
shavings. Foreign material on the bit may
keep the chuck from tightening fully. A
loose bit may cause injury.
• Push the bit into the chuck as far as it
will go.
• Make sure the bit is in the center of the
chuck. If the bit is off-center, it will not be
held securely and may fly loose during use
causing serious injury.
• Rotate the keyless chuck clockwise until
tight while holding the chuck grip to lock the
bit in place.
OPERATION
WARNING: Always unplug the tool before changing accessories.

OPERATION
BIT REMOVAL
• Unplug the drill.
• Rotate the keyless chuck
counterclockwise while holding the chuck
grip to unlock the bit.
• Remove the bit
WARNING: In certain situations, the bit
may bind and the drill will kickback in the
opposite direction. This sudden reaction
could lead to loss of control and possible
serious injury. Always be prepared for the
possibility of kickback, especially when
breaking through material to complete
a hole.
DRILLING METAL
Use an even pressure, hard enough to
keep the drill biting, but not so hard that
the bit spins in the hole. Spinning the bit
will dull it quickly. Soft metals like copper,
cast iron, brass or aluminum will take less
pressure than harder materials like steel.
When drilling harder metals, use lubricating
oil on the tip of the bit.
DRILLING MASONRY
NOTICE: Always use carbide tip bits for
drilling masonry.
Use an even pressure, hard enough to
keep the drill biting, but not so hard that
the bit spins in the hole. Spinning the bit
will dull it quickly. Bricks and similar soft
materials will take less pressure than a
hard material like concrete.
DRILLING WOOD
WARNING: Always clamp the work
piece to a steady base. Never hold in
your hand or across your legs.
Apply pressure in line with the bit. Applying
pressure at an angle could cause the bit
to bind or break. Thin materials that may
splinter should be drilled with another piece
of wood placed underneath. Twist bits can
be used for wood drilling but will overheat
if the flutes are not cleared of wood chips
periodically. To prevent splintering when
finishing holes, stop drilling just before the
hole breaks through and complete the hole
from the other side.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
WARNING: Unplug the drill before per-
forming maintenance or cleaning.
NOTICE: This Drill is lubricated before it
leaves the factory. This lubrication should
last for the life of the tool. No further
lubrication is required.
• Never immerse tool in liquid. Never let any
liquid inside tool housing.
• Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not
use solvents or harsh detergents.
• Check brushes periodically. Worn
brushes should be replaced by
qualied service personnel.
• Keep air vents clean and free from debris.
Blocked air vents can lead to overheating
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso-
ries that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets. If you
must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry the amount
of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may experience a loss of power,
excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord
(see table below).
