The set pin on the drill is loose and will fall out when used. Is there a way to set this depth pin?

Tighten drill chuck on to drill bit. The guide sleeve on the outside of the drillbit will stop drillbit from falling into cylinder. Be careful using tap, you do not want tap to fall into cylinder.. On the off chance this happens A magnet will remove it. You will have to back thread it out. When using compressed air to clean cylinder after new threads have been installed. Use a small amount of paint thinner to break down the oil.. After cylinder has been cleaned use a small amount of oil to lubricate cylinder. Ensure new threads are clear of any oil or debris. Use your liquid weld on new threads. Tore down threads. After 24 hours re torque again. Take your time and good luck

Just make sure when you pull the black band back that it's fully retracted as far as it can go. That should release the bit from the bit holder.

I had the same problem, my spindle with a morse taper was fine but my chuck was siezed The new chuck fit great with one tap of the rubber mallot, and works great and has not come loose. I hope this helps.

Take the screw cap completely off and stretch out the metal piece that the bits fit into. Then it should be ok.

I'm assuming that you're lifting the long black lever located on the back side of the blade shroud (I've been teaching the basics of power tools to a few dads that never owned one before). If it seems soft to the touch when you move it to an upward vertical position to adjust the blade depth, but the shoe fails to move, the lever has either come loose and backed off of the nut that tightens the depth adjustment. or it has been rounded out during assembly from being over-tightened. Other than that, this is the best explanation I can give you based on my ownership and experience of this same model. And I've had mine for over 7 years.

I fhave a standard cordless drill. It just fits in the chuck and I tighten it and off I go. As I recall you should only go in the clockwise/tighten direction. Its easy. And it works very well.

You need to unscrew the silver bolt a little to loosen it then press down the silver button on the front of the drill and then the bit should go all the way in. Then screw the silver bolt back to tighten it

On the drill there is a small yellow button on the underside. You should be able to switch it into three different positions forward off and reverse. If that doesn't happen you may have a defective drill

On the bottom- Did you Take out the pins and switch to the other position? Not the lock position. Need lock position for setup and break down but once you set it up you can pull out the pin and switch it.

I would simply extend the point of the bit through the guide. Place the tip of the bit on the mark and then lower the guide to contact the material you are drilling. Clamp the guide firmly without moving the bit or the guide.

put thumb & index finger arund little black rin @ end of brill pull out , slide bit into ring & let it go black in place. if u need to use reguler bits get a chuck to fit the drill and use regual bits up to 1/2 in. thats how i do it.....

Spin the gray part of drill counterclockwise that should open the front of it.then clockwise to tighten it

I would recommend a non pilot pint bit it acts like a screw pulling the bit through material faster than the drill can spin it. Mad dog drill bits makes a good set for a little more cost

Hi. I am not sure but the threads might be left handed so try turning the allen wrench in the opposite direction. You also might have to secure the chuck in a vise or have someone hold it with a large set of pliers while you loosen the allen bolt.

I would double check the size of your drill bit. I used a 5/16 and had no problem. If this don't work use a scrap piece of pvc and work your way up in bit sizes until you find one that works. Good luck

No! You need to use masonry bits, as they have a carbide tip on the working end. If you force it too much, using a spade bit, you could really screw up your drill...battery, or corded.

Yes - that is one of the things that makes this drill so great. I purchased one of those things that lets you click (or whatever) to change bits and sizes of screw heads without adjusting the chuck. Good luck Jeffrey -- Rob England
