been given top priority in the design of this product making it easy to maintain and operate.
_1_ WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
,_ WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power
tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-oper-
ated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
[] Keep work area clean and wei[ lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
[] Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo=
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
[] Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
[] Power too[ plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed {grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
[] Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
[] Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
[] Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
[] When operating a power tool outdoors, use an ex-
tension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
[] Use battery only with charger listed.

elry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
[] If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
[] Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
[] Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
[] Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
[] Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
[] Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
[] Ensure the switch is in the off position before in=
serting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into

LED FUNCTIONS OF CHARGER
LED WILL BE ON TO INDICATE STATUS OF
CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK:
[] Red LED on = Fast charging mode.
[] Green LED on = Fully charged and in maintenance
charge mode.
[] Green LED on = When battery pack is inserted into
charger, indicates hot battery pack or that battery pack
is out of normal temperature range.
[] Yellow and Green LEDs on = Deeply discharged or
defective battery pack.
[] No LED on = Defective charger or battery pack.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs for this tool are shipped in a low charge
condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you
should charge it until the green LED on the front of the
charger comes on.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation followed
by recharging) for them to become fully charged.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the
green LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to
reach normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to your nearest Sears or other qualified
service center for electrical check.
[] Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
[] Make sure the power supply is normal household

then the green LED will come on. Green LED on
indicates battery pack is fully charged and charger is
in maintenance charge mode.
NOTE: The green LED will remain on until the battery
pack is removed from the charger or charger is
disconnected from the power supply.
[] If both yellow and green LEDs come on, this indicates
a deeply discharged or defective battery pack. Allow
the battery pack to remain in the charger for 15 to 30
minutes. When the battery pack reaches normal
voltage range, the red LED should come on. If the red
LED does not come on after 30 minutes, this may
indicate a defective battery pack and should be
replaced.
[] After normal usage, a minimum of 1 hour of charging
time is required to fully recharge battery pack.
[] The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
[] Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area
of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal
room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed
in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F

normal part of the switch function.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
(FORWARD/REVERSE/CENTER LOCK)
See Figure 4.
The direction of bit rotation is reversible and is controlled
by a selector located above the switch trigger. With the
drill held in normal operating position, the direction of
rotation selector should be positioned to the left of the
switch trigger for drilling. The drilling direction is reversed
when the selector is to the right of the switch trigger.
Setting the switch trigger in the OFF (center lock) position
helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not
in use.
CAUTION: To prevent gear damage, always allow
the chuck to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation.

TWO-SPEED GEAR TRAIN
See Figure 6.
The drill has a two-speed gear train designed for drilling or
driving at LO (1) or HI (2) speeds. A slide switch is located
on top of the drill to select either LO (1) or Hi (2) speed.
When using drill in the LO (1) speed range, speed will
decrease and unit will have more power and torque. When
using drill in the HI (2) speed range, speed will increase
and unit will have less power and torque. Use LO (1)
speed for high power and torque applications and HI (2)
speed for fast drilling or driving applications.

USING THE LASER GUIDE
See Figure 12.
,_ WARNING: To avoid possible injury, do not stare
into the laser beam. The laser unit comes from the
factory already installed and aligned, but if the laser
becomes misaligned after time, refer to the Adjust-
ments section.
[] Aim the drill toward a wall.
[] Depress the laser switch. The drill will project two lines
in a 90 ° right angle on the wall.
[] Using the levels to keep laser lines level, project the
laser lines on the wall.

[] Depress and release the switch trigger to be sure the
drill is in the OFF position before connecting it to power
supply.
[] Check the direction of rotation selector for correct
setting (forward or reverse).
[] Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
[] Plug the drill into power supply source.
[] Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.
[] Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. Do not lock
the switch ON for jobs where the drill may need to be
stopped suddenly.
[] Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let
the drill and bit do the work.

,_ WARNING" Be prepared for binding at bit
breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has
a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury.
[] When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch
to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the
drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started.
[] When drilling metals use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drilling action.
[] Ifthe bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls,
stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
LEVELS

WOOD DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood drilling.
[] Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit
from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed
as the drill bit bites into the material.
[] When drilling through holes, place a block of wood
behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered
edges on the back side of the hole.
METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
[] Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit
from slipping off the starting point.
[] Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much
pressure will:
• Overheat the drill;
Wear the bearings;
Bend or burn bits; and
Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
[] When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with
oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.

[] Remove battery pack from the drill.
[] Facing a wall, center the bubble in the top level.
[] Clamp the drill in a vice or other clamp so that the laser
lines will project onto a wall.
NOTE: For accurate measurements, do not exceed a
3 ft. distance from the nearest wall. Otherwise, laser
lines may not intersect properly for perpendicular mea-
surements.
[] Place battery pack in the drill.
[] Turn on the laser.
_1_ WARNING: DO NOT point the laser at yourself
or others. Class Ilia lasers will burn the retinas and
could cause serious injury to the eyes.
MAKING VERTICAL LASER LINE ADJUSTMENTS
