Frequently Asked Questions - 917.881065 Craftsman
How do I change the drill bit?
To change the bit, ensure the drill is unplugged. Open the keyless chuck by turning it counterclockwise. Insert the bit, then tighten by turning the chuck clockwise by hand until secure.
What is the maximum drilling depth?
The maximum drilling depth depends on the bit length and material. The drill has a depth stop rod (included) that can be set for consistent depth up to approximately 2 inches (50 mm).
How do I use the reverse function?
Locate the reverse switch near the trigger. Slide it to the left for forward (drilling) and to the right for reverse (screw removal). Always wait for the chuck to stop before switching direction.
Is this drill suitable for masonry?
For masonry, use a carbide-tipped masonry bit and select a slower speed. The drill is capable of drilling into brick or concrete up to 1/2 inch (13 mm) with proper bits.
How do I clean and maintain the drill?
Unplug the drill. Wipe exterior with a dry cloth. Use compressed air to blow dust out of ventilation slots. Periodically, apply a drop of oil to the chuck jaws and rotate to keep them smooth.
What should I do if the drill stops suddenly?
First, check that it is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the drill overheated, let it cool for 30 minutes. If problem persists, inspect carbon brushes or consult a professional.
Can I use this drill for screwdriving?
Yes, with a screwdriver bit in the chuck. Use low speed and adjust torque by feel or use a depth stop. The reverse function helps for removal.
How do I replace the carbon brushes?
Unplug the drill. Remove brush caps on sides. Pull out old brushes, insert new ones (order correct size from Craftsman). Reinstall caps and run drill at no load for a few minutes to seat brushes.
