Frequently Asked Questions - 917.299013 Craftsman
How do I change the drill bit on my Craftsman 917.299013?
Ensure the drill is unplugged. Open the keyless chuck by turning it counterclockwise. Insert the drill bit and tighten the chuck clockwise by hand. For heavy-duty drilling, you may use a chuck key if provided, but this model typically has a keyless chuck.
How do I reverse the direction of the drill?
Locate the forward/reverse switch above the trigger. Slide it to the left for forward (clockwise rotation) and to the right for reverse (counterclockwise). Ensure the switch is fully engaged before operating.
What should I do if the drill stops working?
First, check the power cord and outlet. If the cord is damaged, replace it. If the drill still doesn't work, the carbon brushes may be worn out. Carbon brushes are replaceable; access them by removing the brush caps on the sides of the motor housing.
How do I adjust the speed on my drill?
The Craftsman 917.299013 has a variable speed trigger. The speed is controlled by how hard you squeeze the trigger: light squeeze for slow speed, full squeeze for high speed. Some models also have a two-speed gearbox with a selector switch near the chuck.
What safety precautions should I take when using this drill?
Always wear safety glasses. Keep your hands away from the rotating chuck and bit. Use the trigger lock to prevent accidental starts. Do not apply excessive pressure; let the drill do the work. Unplug the drill when changing bits or performing maintenance.
Can I use this drill for masonry drilling?
Yes, but you need a hammer drill function for masonry. The Craftsman 917.299013 is a standard drill without hammer action. You can use it with masonry bits at low speed, but it is not recommended for heavy masonry work.
How do I clean and maintain my drill?
Keep the air vents free of dust and debris. Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Periodically check the power cord for damage. If the drill sparks excessively, the carbon brushes may need replacement. Lubricate the chuck if it becomes stiff.
What is the maximum drilling capacity of the Craftsman 917.299013?
The maximum drilling capacity is 1/2 inch in steel and 1 inch in wood. For best results, use sharp bits and appropriate speed settings.
How do I replace the carbon brushes?
Unplug the drill. Locate the two brush caps on the sides of the motor housing. Use a screwdriver to remove the caps. Slide out the worn brushes and insert new ones. Ensure the brushes are oriented correctly. Replace the caps and tighten securely.
My drill chuck is slipping. What should I do?
First, ensure the chuck is fully tightened. If it still slips, the chuck may be worn or damaged. You can try cleaning the chuck jaws with a brush. If the problem persists, the chuck may need replacement. Replacement chucks are available for this model.
