NOTE: Use lower speeds for starting holes without a center punch,
drilling in metal or plastics, driving screws or drilling ceramics. Higher
speeds are better for drilling wood and composition boards, and for
using abrasive and polishing accessories.
THE REVERSING LEVER is used for withdrawing bits from tight
holes and removing screws. It is located above the trigger
switch (Figure 2). To reverse the motor, release the trigger switch
FIRST and then push the lever to the right. After any reversing
operations, return lever to forward position.
Operation
DRILLING
1. Always unplug the drill when attaching or changing bits or
accessories.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits,
power auger bits, or hole saws. For METAL, use high speed steel
twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits.
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If

a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

Motor Brushes
Snap-on uses an advanced brush system which automatically stops
the drill when the brushes wear out. This prevents serious damage to
the motor.
Switches
To start drill, depress trigger switch; to stop drill, release trigger. To
lock trigger in “ON” position for continuous operation, depress trigger
and push up locking button “A” Figure 1, then gently release trigger.
To release locking mechanism, depress trigger fully, then release it.
Before using the tool (each time) be sure that the locking button
release mechanism is working freely.
Do not lock the switch “ON” when drilling by hand so that you can
instantly release the trigger switch if the bit binds in the hole.
The locking button is for use only when the drill is mounted in a drill
press stand or otherwise held stationary.
Be sure to release the locking button before disconnecting the plug
from the power supply. Failure to do so will cause the tool to start
immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or injury could
result.
THE VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH permits speed
control—the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the speed of
the drill.
