Drilling Tips
0 Pressing down too hard slows drilling performance,
damages the bit and shortens service of the drill.
0 Grasp the drill firmly and use care when the bit begins
to break through a hole. Drill and bit are subject to
tremendous force when breaking through a hole.
0 Use only sharp drill bits. When drilling In:
Wood, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger
bits or hole saws,
Metals, use high speed steel twist drill bits, or
Masonry, (brick cement, cinder block, etc.,) use
carbide tipped bits.
0 Always securely clamp
or anchor material being drilled.
0 When drilling thin materials
or materials that are likely
to splinter, back up the work piece with a wood block
to prevent damaging the material.
0 Always apply pressure In a straight line with the
bit
Use enough pressure to keep the bit drilling, but not
hard enough to stall the motor
or deflect the bit.
0 When drilling wood with a twist bit for metal, pull the bit
out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Let up on
the pressure just before brtJaklng through the material
to get a good, clean
hole:-:
0 When drilling metal, mark the hole location with a
center punch to prevent the drill bit from slipping off
center when starting to drill the hole. Use a cutting
lubricant, like sulfurized cutting oil, when drilling
ferrous metals other than Iron and brass which should
be drilled dry.
o When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use the lower
speed to start holes without punching. Mark the hole
location with a center punch to prevent the drill bit from
slipping off center when starting to drill the hole.
0 When drilling
In masonry, use carbide tipped masonry
bits. Keep even force on the drill. A smooth, even flow
of dust Indicates the proper drilling rate.

Using the 9440.Drill/Driver
I
Installing and Removing Bits
This drill Is fitted with a keyless chuck. No chuck key Is
i' required to SE3cure the drill bits.
To Install a drill bit
1. ~lease~the chuck jaws by grasping the r~ar half of
the chuck with one hand. Use the other hand to turn
the chuck counterclockwise until the chuck opens to
the desired shaft diameter.
2. Insert the bit
or accessory about three-fourths of the
way Into the chuck.
3. Tighten the chuck jaws securely by holding the rear
half of the chuck with one hand. Use the other hand
to tum the chuck clockwise until the chuck Is securely
tightened.
Forward/Reverse Switch
Trigger
The forward/reverse switch determines the rotating
direction of the chuck, either clockwise
or
counterclockwise.
To change the direction of chuck rotation:
1. Be sure the drill Is stopped and not operating.
.
2. Push the lever to the right or tne left. Switch
positions viewed from the handle are:
-Forward (F), the chuck rotates clockwise,
-Reverse (R), the chuck rotates counterclockwise.
fl' The switch must be In either the forward or the
reverse position to operate.
Depress the trigger to rotate the chuck. The lever must
be In a forward or reverse position to operate. The trigger
can be lockedin the OFF position. Locking the trigger In
the OFF position helps to reduce the possibility of
accidental starting the drill when not In use. Place the
.. , · lever In the center position to lock the trigger.
./ Lock the trigger when not In use.

Torque Control
Drilling
Service
Adjust the amount of torque by turning the torque
adjustment dial. The torque control prevents the heads of
smaller diameter screws from twisting off when correctly
set Fa.Stenlng torque Is greater as the numerals are larger.
The drill has full torque when set
In a drill position.
Overloading and stalling the drill at any time can cause
motor burnout and can also dramatically reduce battery life.
1. Choose the appropriate bit for the task.
2. Secure the material being drilled
In a vise or with
clamps to keep It from turning as the drill bit rotates.
3. Set the appropriate speed for the task.
4. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the drilling
point.
5. Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. Move the
drill bit Into the work piece. Apply only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting.
6. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole.
.,' Release the switch trigger Immediately If the bit
jams
In the work piece or the drill stalls. Remove
the bit from the work piece and determine the
reason for jamming.
