In some cases, due to variations in packaging, you may have to install the Spade Handle and Auxiliary Handle. Please refer to the assembly diagram on page 10. CAUTION: Be sure the tool is unplugged from any power source before performing any installation or adjustment of the tool. 1. Align the Spade Handle (31) with the Back Case (32). Insert the Spade Handle Knob (30) through the Spade Handle into the Back Case. Tighten the Spade Handle Knob by turning clockwise until tight. 2. Insert the Screw (14) through the Side Handle (15). Position the Side Handle on the Gear Housing Cover (22). Using a screwdriver (not included) tighten the Screw (14) until tight. NOTE: Periodically check to be sure the handles remain tight. Never try to reposition the handles while the tool is running. About Low Speed Heavy-duty Drills: While an extremely useful tool, heavy-duty drills can be dangerous if used improperly or in damaged condition. 1. This tool incorporates a double gear reduction transmission to reduce drill speed while increasing torque. This design improves performance when drilling large holes up to 2” in wood and 1/2” in mild steel. This feature also helps prevent the tool from “bogging down” or stopping when under heavy load. 2. Drill Bits (not included) come in various sizes and types. Various types include low and high speed twist bits for metals, spade or brad point bits for wood, forstner bits for flat bottomed holes in wood or plastic, auger bits for boring through walls and floors, masonry bits for plaster and dry wall, etc. Always select the proper bit type and size for the application at hand. 3. This drill can use drill bit shank sizes between 1/16” and 1/2” inclusive. Boring hole size may be larger than the shank size. Do not attempt to use drill bits larger or smaller than this range. 4. Whenever installing a drill bit into the tool, first unplug the tool. By hand, rotate the outer ring of the Chuck counterclockwise to open it enough to allow the bit to be inserted. Be sure the bit is centered in the Chuck. By hand, rotate the outer ring of the Chuck clockwise to tighten on the bit. Check to be sure the bit is centered in the jaws of the Chuck. 5. Insert the tip of the Chuck Key into one of the openings drilled into the side of the Chuck. Engage the gears of the Chuck Key with the gear teeth on the outside of the Chuck. Turn the Chuck Key clockwise to tighten the jaws of the Chuck firmly on the drill bit. CAUTION: Be sure the drill bit is centered and firmly fixed in the Chuck before beginning work. Power Switch Features Note: The Power Switch (46) has a variable speed feature. Simply turn the dial below the Power Switch to adjust the drill speed. The dotted lines on the dial are spaced from narrow to wide to indicate increasing drill speed. Note: The trigger lock button on the Power Switch, when activated, will allow the drill to run without continuous finger pressure on the power switch. To release the trigger lock, simply press your finger on the power switch. 1. Do not start the tool until you have observed all safety preparations and are ready to work.

The speed of the drill will increase as the Trigger is squeezed tighter. The speed will lessen as the Trigger is released. 3. Stop the tool by releasing the Power Switch. Note: The Forward/Reverse button is located behind the Trigger (46). When button is pushed in on the left side of housing (see photo on cover), the drill will rotate in Reverse (counterclockwise). When button is pushed in on the right side of housing, the drill will rotate in a Forward clockwise direction. Reversing Direction of the Drill Caution: Never attempt to change direction of the drill while the drill is operating. Always wait for the drill to come to a complete stop before changing direction. 1. Most drill bits are designed to work while turning in a clockwise direction. When drilling, confirm that you are using a standard type drill bit and that the drill is set to turn in the correct direction. 2. Occasionally the drill bit may become stuck, or it is desired to reverse drill direction. 3. To reverse direction, wait for the drill to come to a complete stop. Press the Forward/Reverse button as described in the Note above. Using the Heavy Duty Drill Before using the Heavy Duty Drill, be sure all work area safety precautions are being observed. Be sure to wear ANSI-approved eye protection. NOTE: The motor will heat up as it is used. To avoid motor burn out, do not use continually for more than 20 minutes at a time. Allow the tool to cool down for at least 10 minutes before resuming work. 1. Place the drill tip on the work piece, and Start the tool. 2. Apply light pressure on the tool to help it drill into the workpiece. Do not overload the tool. If the speed noticeably slows down, release some downward pressure from the drill. 3. When th...
