Only use accessories specifically
WARNING
recommended for this tool. Others
may be hazardous.
Installing Accessories into Keyed Chucks
Always remove the battery before inserting or remov-
ing bits. Select the proper style and size bit for the job.
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Open the chuck jaws wide
enough to insert the bit. Be
sure the bit shank and chuck
jaws are clean. Dirt particles
may prevent the bit from lin-
ing up properly.
3. Insert the bit into the chuck. Center the bit in the
chuck jaws and lift it about 1/16" off of the bottom.
Tighten the chuck jaws by hand to align the bit.
4. Place the chuck key in each of the three holes in
the chuck, turning it clockwise to tighten the chuck
securely.
NOTE: Never use a wrench or means other than
a chuck key to tighten or loosen the chuck.
5. To remove the bit, insert the chuck key into
one of the holes in the chuck and turn it counter-
clockwise.
OPERATION
Using the Control Switch
The control switch may be
set to three positions:
forward, reverse and
lock. Due to a lockout
mechanism, the control
switch can only be ad-
justed when the ON/OFF
switch is not pressed.
Always allow the motor to come to a complete stop
before using the control switch.
For forward (clockwise) rotation, push in the control
switch from the right side of the tool. Check the
direction of rotation before use.
For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push in the
control switch from the left side of the tool. Check
direction of rotation before use.
To lock off the trigger, push the control switch to the
center position. The trigger will not work while the
control switch is in the center locked position. Always
lock the trigger or remove the battery pack before
performing maintenance, changing accessories,
storing the tool and any time the tool is not in use.
High rotational force. To reduce the
WARNING
risk of injury, always hold or brace
securely. Always use both handles.
To reduce the risk of injury, always wear safety
goggles or glasses with side shields.
Starting, Stopping and Controlling Speed
To set the speed, rotate the speed dial to the set-
ting below 200 for the lowest speed (100 RPM),
up to "MAX" for the highest speed (550 RPM). Set
the dial to the speed recommended by the material
manufacturer.
1. To start the tool, pull the trigger.
2. To stop the tool, release the trigger.
3. To vary the speed, increase or decrease pressure
on the trigger. The further the trigger is pulled, the
greater the speed, up to the maximum speed set
on the speed dial.

Locking Trigger ON
The lock button holds the trigger in the ON position
for continuous use.
1. To lock the trigger, hold in the lock button while
pulling the trigger. Release the trigger.
2. To unlock the trigger, pull the trigger and release.
The lock button will pop out.
Generally, lower speeds are recom-
mended for thinner materials and
higher speeds are recommended
for thicker materials. Follow the
speed recommendations of the
material. Place the paddle into the
material and start slowly, gradually
increasing to desired speed.
Place the bit on the work surface and apply firm pres-
sure before starting. Too much pressure will slow the
bit and reduce drilling efficiency. Too little pressure
will cause the bit to slide over the work area and dull
the point of the bit.
If the tool begins to stall, reduce pressure slightly to
allow the bit to regain speed. If the bit binds, reverse
the motor to free the bit from the workpiece.

APPLICATIONS

Mixing in Drywall Mud and Stucco
When mixing in drywall mud or stucco, select desired
speed per material instructions. Start the mixer
slowly, gradually increasing speed as you mix. When
mixing in drywall mud or stucco, use a rectangular
style paddle. Select lower speeds for mixing pow-
dered drywall mud or stucco.
Mixing in Thin Set and Mortar
When mixing in thin set or mortar, select desired
speed per material instructions. Start the mixer
slowly, gradually increasing speed as you mix.
When mixing in thin set or mortar, use a eggbeater
style paddle.
Mixing in Epoxy
When mixing in epoxy, select desired speed per
material instructions. Start the mixer slowly, gradually
increasing speed as you mix. When mixing in epoxy,
use a jiffy mixer style paddle.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
WARNING
check work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling or driving screws.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials
and Plastic
Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as
you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers
or twist drill bits. Always use sharp bits. When using
twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to
clear chips from the bit flutes. To reduce the chance of
splintering, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Se-
lect low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
