9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the tool. Make sure your exten-
sion cord is in good condition.
Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The
amperage rating should be listed on
the motor or tool nameplate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords if they
become damaged.

sories may cause risk of injury.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.
Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is dam-
aged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate

function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mount-
ing, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or
other part that is damaged should

ACAUTION
To operate this, or any power tool,
safely and efficiently, it is essential to
become as familiar with its characteris-
tics as possible. The time you invest
before you begin to use your Model
H0777 will be time well spent. DO NOT
operate this machine until you are
competely familiar with the contents of
this manual. Make sure you read and
understand all of the safety proce-
dures. If you do not understand some-
thing, DO NOT operate the machine.
OPERATIONS
Changing Bits
1 . Remove the chuck key from the hold-
er on the power cord.
2. Insert the chuck key into one of the
three holes located on the side of the
chuck.
3. Turn the chuck key counterclockwise.
This will cause the three chuck jaws
to open. When the chuck jaws are at
the approximate diameter of the bit or
driver, insert the shank end of the bit
or driver into the jaw opening.
5. Turn the chuck key clockwise until the
jaws close tightly around the bit or dri-
ver. Never "power tighten" which is
holding the chuck while running the
drill. This can cause serious injury to
the operator's hands. Check for tight-
ness periodically while using the tool.
6. To release the bit or driver, insert the
chuck key and turn counter-clock-
wise.

AWARNING
Operating this equipment has the
potential for flying debris to cause eye

MAINTENANCE
Guidelines and Tips
Regular periodic maintenance on your
Model H0777 Heavy-Duty 1 /s" Electric Drill
will ensure its optimum performance.
Make a habit of inspecting your drill each
time you use it.
Avoid overloading the drill. Always use
sharpened drill bits. Do not apply
excessive pressure to the drill while
using. If the speed drops abnormal-
ly, decrease pressure immediately. If
the bit stops abruptly or becomes
blocked, release the trigger at once.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
drilled or fastened in a vise or other-
wise clamp to avoid injury. Do not
attempt to hold workpiece by hand.
Inspect the drill before use. Run the drill
before using to ensure all parts are
running smoothly and there are no
abnormal sounds or sparks. If any
defect is found, have unit serviced.
Know your worksite. Only drill as deep
as necessary. Check behind walls
for wires, other electrical hazards, or
plumbing.
Maintenance
Continuous use of a worn or damaged bit
will not only decrease working efficiency,
but also overload the motor, so the bit must
be frequently checked. Replace the bit if it
is worn or damaged.
Periodically check all screws to be sure
they are tight. If any screw is loose, tighten
immediately.
Regularly clean your drill and make sure
that no dust or grime builds up in the motor
ventilation holes. If these holes become
blocked, the motor will wear down faster
than necessary. A good way to clean ven-
tilation holes is to blow them out with com-
pressed air. Just be sure to wear safety
glasses when you do this.
A damp cloth is ideal for cleaning the drill
body. Avoid excessive moisture, especially
in areas around the ventilation holes. Also,
avoid the use of solvents while cleaning
the drill body. Solvents may damage the
plastic.
Store tool in a dry place when not in use.
Moisture in the internal parts of the drill
may cause electrical problems.
Finally, leave lubrication and repair to qual-
ified service professionals. This will ensure
that you get years of faithful service from
your Grizzly Heavy-Duty Vz Electric Drill.
