TRIGGER SWITCH & FORWARD / REVERSE / LOCK BUTTON
A forward / reverse control button determines the direction of the tool and also serves as a
lock off button. To select forward rotation, release the trigger switch and depress the forward
/ reverse control button as shown in Figure 5. To select reverse, depress the forward / reverse
control button the opposite direction. The center position of the control button locks the tool
in the off position.
Note: Ensure the forward / reverse switch is in the center (lock off) position.
KEYLESS CHUCK
To insert a drill bit or other accessory:
1. Grasp the rear half of the chuck with one hand and use your other hand to rotate the front
half in the counterclockwise direction, (Fig.6).
2. Insert the bit or other accessory fully into the chuck, and tighten securely by holding the
rear half of the chuck and rotating the front portion in the clockwise direction as viewed from
the chuck end.
WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front
part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur
when changing accessories.
TORQUE CONTROL
The torque adjustment collar shown in Fig. 5 has 24 settings. There are 23 screwdriving set-
tings and a drilling setting which is represented by the drill bit symbol. For screwdriving pro-
ceed as follows:
Set the torque adjustment to position "1". Fit and tighten the first screw. If the clutch of your
drill starts to ratchet before the screw is correctly seated, rotate the adjustment collar as nec-
essary, until the clutch slips when the head of the screw is flush with the surface of the mate-
rial. Use this torque setting for the rest of the screws.
DRILLING TIPS
Always remove batteries from drill when attaching or removing accessories. When using a
keyless chuck, hand tighten firmly.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the drill
bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting but
not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly to control its twisting action..
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO
START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the last
part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce jam-
ming.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry. The lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil.
Bacon grease will also serve.
• When using twist drill bits to drill holes in wood, it will be necessary to pull the bits out fre-
quently to clear chips from the flutes.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
WARNING: It is important to support the work properly and to hold the drill firmly to pre-
vent loss of control which could cause personal injury.
DRILLING
Note: Ensure the forward / reverse switch is in the center (lock off) position.
ATTACHING SANDPAPER
The sander uses pre-cut nylon backed sheets of abrasive of a specific size. To fit the abra-
sive, align the it with the sanding pad and press it firmly in place.
Ensure the abrasive evenly overlaps the base. Never use your sander without an abrasive or
accessory. The abrasive supplied with your tool has two replacement tips. This design allows
you to interchange and or rotate the diamond tips. To rotate the tip, remove it from the pad,
rotate it 180º and press it back on the hook base. Note: Remove the two replacement tips
from the abrasive before use, these can be used later when the original diamond tip wears.
SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the
contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis,
we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being
done until all cleanup is completed.
• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter
should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
• Note: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be
used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for
the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting
contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or
smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils
thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the
duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other
removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through
regular trash pick-up procedures. During cleanup, children and pregnant women should be
kept away from the immediate work area.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before
being used again.
Note: Ensure the forward / reverse switch is in the center (lock off) position.
INSTALLING BLADES
Your jig saw uses the Quick Clamp™ blade changing system. To install a blade, lift the Quick
Clamp™ lever (Figure 7). Insert the saw blade shank fully into the blade clamp. Release the
lever and the blade will be clamped securely in place. The back of the blade should be just
touching the roller support guide. Ensure the blade teeth are facing forward.
ROLLER SUPPORT GUIDE
The roller support guide on your jig saw improves its performance when cutting tough materi-
als by adding support to the blade. Lubricating the guide roller with a drop of oil from time to
time will extend the roller life.
USING THE JIG SAW
The jig saw is equipped with a lock off switch. To start the saw, first depress the lock off but-
ton shown in Fig. 8 followed by the trigger switch (Fig. 5) You can then release the lock off but-
7
ton.
