operating this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in  
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.  
WORK AREA SAFETY  
1. ALWAYS use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the  
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body  
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.  
2. DO NOT force the tool. Use the correct tool and blade for your application. The  
correct tool and accessory will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered workbenches and dark areas  
invite accidents.  
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence  
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the  
dust or fumes.  
3. DO NOT use the tool if switch does not turn it “On” or “Off”. Any tool that  
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.  
4. DISCONNECT the plug from the power source before making any  
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive  
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
5. STORE idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons.  
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
4. Make your workshop childproof with padlocks and master switches. Lock  
tools away when not in use.  
5. MAKE SURE the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work and that  
there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation BEFORE using your  
power tool.  
6. MAINTAIN tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
7. CHECK for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and  
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the  
tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

SERVICE SAFETY  
EXTENSION CORDS  
1. If any part of this tool is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way;  
or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: SHUT OFF the power  
switch and remove the saw’s plug from the power source and have the missing,  
damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.  
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).  
Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and  
overheating of tool. For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a least 14-gauge  
is recommended for an extension cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for an  
extension cord of 50-ft. Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not recommended.  
Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number  
(14-gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire has more capacity  
than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number. When operating a power tool  
outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for  
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.  
2. Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Service Center. Service or  
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.  
3. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions  
in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to  
follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

drilling thin material, use a wood “back-up”  
block to prevent splintering or damage to  
the workpiece.  
When using your drill for percussion hammer drilling applications, make sure you have the  
Rotary and Hammer Drilling Selector Switch in the Hammer Drilling position  
(see Page 13, Fig. 4).  
Fig. 14  
NOTE:When unplugging the drill, first make sure that the Power Lock-On  
Feature is not engaged, by pressing on the trigger switch to release it. Failure  
to do so will cause the hammer drill to start immediately the next time it is  
plugged in. Property damage or serious personal injury could result.  
7. Always apply pressure in a straight line  
with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep  
the drill bit biting, but do not push hard  
enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.  
8. Hold the hammer drill firmly to control the  
twisting action of the hammer drill and bit.

2. When hammer drilling in masonry  
such as brick, concrete, cinder  
block, stone and tile, use only  
carbide tipped bits rated for  
percussion drilling and be certain  
that the bit is sharp.  
DAMAGE THE DRILL.  
3. Make sure that the hammer drill  
mode is selected and that the bit  
is securely installed in the chuck.  
10. To minimize stalling or breaking through  
the workpiece, reduce pressure on the  
hammer drill and ease the bit through the last part of the hole.  
4. Use a constant and firm force on  
the hammer drill to drill effectively.  
A smooth, even flow of dust from  
the hole indicates the proper  
hammer drilling rate.  
11. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent  
the bit from jamming.  
12. With variable speed there is no need to use a center punch at the point to be drilled.  
Just use a slow speed to start the hole and accelerate by applying pressure to the  
trigger switch when the hole is deep enough to drill without the drill bit skipping out  
of the hole.  
5. Start hammer drilling at slower speeds and increase to full speed while applying firm  
pressure on the hammer drill.  
13. When drilling in metal start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while  
applying pressure on the hammer drill. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates  
proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are  
cast iron and brass, which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best  
are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon grease will also serve the purpose.  
6. When hammer drilling, use just enough force on the drill to keep it from bouncing  
excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds,  
overheating, and a slower drilling rate.  
7. Drill straight and keep the bit at a right angle to the work (the bubble level will help).  
Do not exert side pressure on the bit when hammer drilling, as this will cause clogging  
of the bit flutes, overheating, and a slower drilling speed.  
NOTE: Large holes in steel (5/16 to 1/2 inches) can be made more easily if a  
pilot hole 5/32 to 3/16-inch is drilled first.  
8. When hammer drilling deeper holes, pull the bit partially out of the hole frequently  
(with the drill still running), to help clear debris from the hole. This will help keep the bit  
form overheating and produce a cleaner drilled hole.  
14. When driving screws and various types of fasteners, always use the proper driving bit  
matched to the screw or fastener. Start the driving action using a constant force on the  
fastener at a lower speed and torque, slowly increasing the speed and torque to  
effectively drive and set the fastener in its finished position.

CHUCK REMOVAL  
!
Fig. 16  
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance and  
(Fig. 16, 16a and 16b)  
adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified service technician at a  
Sears Service Center.  
The chuck may be removed and replaced  
with a new one.  
1. Unplug the hammer drill.  
!
WARNING: For your safety, ALWAYS turn off switch and unplug drill from  
the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.  
!
WARNING: To prevent personal  
injury, ALWAYS disconnect the plug  
from power source BEFORE  
assembling parts, making adjustments  
or changing bits.  
It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible  
premature failure when they are used to work on fiber glass boats and sports cars,  
wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials  
are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts, such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.  
Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any  
fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compound or plaster. During any use on these  
materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with  
an air jet.  
2. Insert a 5/16-in. or larger hex key into the  
chuck of the drill and tighten the chuck  
jaws securely with the chuck key and  
spindle lock.  
!
Fig. 16a  
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields  
3. Tap the hex key sharply with a mallet in a  
clockwise direction. This will loosen the  
screw in the chuck for easy removal.  
during power tool operations, or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also  
wear a dust mask.  
4. Open the chuck jaws and remove the  
hex key. Using a screwdriver, remove the  
chuck screw by turning it in a clockwise  
direction (see Fig. 16a). Note that the  
chuck screw has left hand threads and  
clockwise direction loosens instead of  
tightens.  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
!
WARNING: DO NOT at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based  
products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can  
damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.  
Fig. 16b  
Periodic maintenance allows for long life and trouble-free operation. A cleaning, lubrication  
and maintenance schedule should be maintained. As a common preventive maintenance  
practice, follow these recommended steps:  
5. Insert the hex key into the chuck and  
tighten the chuck jaws securely. Tap  
sharply with a mallet in a counterclockwise  
direction (see Fig.16b). This will loosen  
the chuck on the spindle. It can now be  
unscrewed by hand.  
!
WARNING: For your safety, ALWAYS turn off switch and unplug saw from  
the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.  
1. When work has been completed, clean the tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool  
over time.  
2. Use clean damp cloths to wipe the tool.  
3. Check the state of all power cords.  
4. Keep the motor air vent openings free from oil, grease and sawdust or woodchips,  
and store tool in a dry place.  
5. Be certain that the chuck and jaws are well lubricated with a light machine oil, particularly  
after lengthy exposure to damp and/or dirty conditions.  
6. Apply a light coat of machine oil to the surface of the chuck face and jaws from time  
to time for rust resistance.
