NOTE: Make sure the hand placed on the body of the drill does not cover the air
vents. Covering these air vents will reduce motor cooling, and possibly lead to
overheating the motor.
4.
point to be drilled. Squeeze the switch trigger to start the drill.
NOTE: Always use a higher drill speed when drilling small holes. Use a slower drill
speed when drilling large holes.
5. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit
cutting. Do not force the drill bit or apply sideways pressure to elongate the hole.
WARNING: Be prepared for binding and bit breakthrough. When these situations occur,
the drill bit has a tendency to grab the workpiece. This action will kick the drill opposite
to the direction of the drill bit rotation, and could cause loss of control when breaking
through material as you complete drilling the hole. If you are not prepared, this loss of
control can result in serious injury.
When drilling metals,use light oil on the
drill bit to keep it from overheating. The
oil will prolong the life of the drill bitand
improve the cutting action. If the bit jams
in the workpiece, or if the drill stalls,
release the trigger switch immediately.
Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.

3. Set the torque clutch to the appropriate setting, based on the list on Page 13.
NOTE: If the workpiece material is particularly soft or porous, set the torque clutch
to a lower setting to avoid overdriving the screw.
4. If the screw is driven too far into the workpiece before the clutch releases, set the
clutch to a lower setting, and do not pull the trigger switch fully back. If the screw
is not driven far enough into the workpiece, set the clutch to a higher setting.
NOTE: Do not continue to drive the screw once the clutch has released. This causes
unnecessary wear of the clutch.

RETIGHTENING A LOOSE CHUCK

19
Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries generally provide superiorperformance to
nickel-cadmium batteries when used in power tools.
Faster charges
Longer batterylife
More power
Lighter weight
Lithium-ion batteries perform best anddeliver peak output power at room temperature
(20° C or 68° F). When operated in lower temperatures, the batteryoutputwill be reduced
and it will NOT function below –20° C(-4° F). The output power will increase as the heat
generated by the batteryduring use increases the internal temperature of the battery. The
resultis increased power as the tool is used.
Lithium-ion batteries share many characteristics with nickel-cadmium batteries.
The major characteristic that is NOT shared with nickel-cadmium batteries is that
Lithium-ion batteries do not have a “memory”anddo not require to be completely
discharged periodically. It is recommended that you charge yourLithium-ion batteries
after each use so they will be fully charged when needed.
NOTE:A fully charged batterywill loose about 2% of its charge permonth during storage.
