ENGLISH KEYLESS SINGLE SLEEVE CHUCK (FIGURE 6-8) Your tool features a keyless chuck with one rotating sleeve for one-handed operation of the chuck. To insert a drill bit or other accessory, follow these steps. 1. Lock the trigger in the OFF position. Turn off tool and disconnect tool from power source. 2. Grasp the black sleeve of the chuck (d) with one hand and use the other hand to secure the tool as shown in Figure 6. Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise (as viewed from the front) far enough to accept the desired accessory. 3. Insert the accessory about 19 mm (3/4") into the chuck (Figure 7). Tighten securely by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise with one hand while holding the tool with the other hand (Figure 8). Continue to rotate the chuck sleeve until several ratchet clicks are heard to ensure full gripping power. To release the accessory, repeat Steps 1 and 2 above. Be sure to tighten chuck with one hand on the chuck sleeve and one hand holding the tool for maximum tightness. Belt Hook and Bit Clip (Figure 1) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, DO NOT suspend tool overhead or suspend objects from the belt hook. ONLY hang tool's belt hook from a work belt. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ensure the screw holding the belt hook is secure. IMPORTANT: When attaching or replacing the belt hook or bit clip, use only the screw (l) that is provided. Be sure to securely tighten the screw. The belt hook (k) and bit clip (m) can be be attached to either side of the tool using only the screw (l) provided, to accommodate left- or right- handed users. If the hook or bit clip is not desired at all, it can be removed from the tool. To move belt hook or bit clip, remove the screw (l) that holds it in place then reassemble on the opposite side.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. Proper Hand Position (Figure 9) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown in Figure 9. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction. Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle (n), with the other hand on the side handle (h). Drill Operation (Figure 3) WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage to the material. 1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the planned operation. Set the mode control collar to the drill symbol. 2. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole saws. For METAL, use highspeed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. 3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the drill bit biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit. 12
