Use and Care Manual

OPERATION

CLEANING

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of

commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come

in contact with the plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious

personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster are subject to accelerated

wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,

brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these

types of materials. However if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool

using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

This tool is permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no additional lubrication.

MAINTENANCE

CHUCK

Your drill is equipped with a single sleeve keyless chuck, so you can quickly change bits with no extra tools re-

quired. To install bits, place the reversing switch in the OFF position and unplug the battery from the tool. Rotate

the chuck’s body counterclockwise to open the chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the

desired bit size. Insert the bit and tighten the jaws by rotating the chuck clockwise to secure it in place.

CLUTCH & TORQUE SETTINGS

During screw driving applications, you can adjust the maximum torque the drill produces. This feature can be

used to prevent the stripping and breaking of screws, or to set a series of screws to a depth that fits your project.

Set the torque ring to setting number 1 for the lightest torque or setting number 19 for the heaviest. Setting the

mark on the SCREW symbol is direct drive (the torque is not limited) and used primarily for drilling operations.

GENERAL SCREWDRIVING

1. Clamp your workpiece down.

2. Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into harder woods.

3. Exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw. Let the tool do the work.

4. Use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance.

GENERAL DRILLING

1. Clamp your workpiece down. Turn the torque setting to the SCREW symbol. Exert enough pressure to start

the drill bit. Once the drill has entered the workpiece, keep drilling. Do not force or stall the bit. Do not bend or

twist the bit. Let the tool and the drill bit do the work.

2. Maintain your balance and be prepared for binding when the bit breaks through.
