A WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. ,,_IL WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. APPLICATIONS You may use this tool for the purposes listed below: [] Hammer drilling in concrete, brick, or other masonry [] Drilling in wood [] Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and laminates [] Drilling in metals [] Mixing paint VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH See Figure 2, To turn the drill ON, depress the variable speed switch. To turn it OFF, release the switch. VARIABLE SPEED The variable speed switch delivers higher speed and torque with increased pressure and lower speed with decreased pressure. NOTE: You might hear a whistling or ringing noise from the switch during use. Do not be concerned; this is a normal part of the switch function. UNLOCK (RELEASE) KEYLESS CHUCK See Figure 2. The drill-driver has a keyless chuck that makes it simple to tighten or release drill bits in the chuck jaws. The arrows on the chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit. _, WARNING: Do not hold the chuck body with one hand and use the power of the drill to tighten the chuck jaws on the drill bit. The chuck body could slip in your hand, or your hand could slip and come in contact with the rotating drill bit. This could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury. FORWARD/REVERSE See Figure 2. The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled by a selector located above the variable speed switch. With the drill held in normal operating position, the direction of rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the switch for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed when the selector is to the right of the variable speed switch. CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck to come to a complete stop before changing the direction of rotation. To stop the drill, release the switch and allow the chuck to come to a complete stop. NOTE: The drill will not run unless the direction of rotation selector is pushed fully to the left or right. Avoid running the drill at low speeds for extended periods of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may cause the drill to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the drill by running it without a load and at full speed.
