DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric
power tools which eliminates the need for the usual
three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal
parts are isolated from internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double
insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
_WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool
until you have read thoroughly and understand
completely all instructions, safety rules, etc.
contained in this manual. Failure to comply can
result in accidents involving fire, electric shock,
or serious personal injury. Save owner's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe
operation, and instructing others who may use
this tool.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
KNOWYOUR POWERTOOL. Read owner's
manual carefully. Learn its applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool.
GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by
preventing body contact with grounded surfaces.
For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigera-
tor enclosures.
•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working
order.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. For service we suggest you return the tool
to your nearest Sears Store or Sears Service Center
for repair. Always use original factory replacement
parts when servicing.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't
use power tools in damp or wet locations or
expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.
KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All
visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a
safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors
contact tool or extension cord.
STORE IDLETOOLS. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up
place - out of the reach of children.
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool.
Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for
example - A circular saw should never be used
for cutting tree limbs or logs.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry that can get caught in tool's
moving parts and cause personal injury. Rubber
gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from
being drawn into nearby air vents.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses.
PROTECTYOUR LUNGS. Wear a face or dust
mask if the operation is dusty.
PROTECTYOUR HEARING. Wear hearing
protection during extended periods of operation.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord
or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep
cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
•SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold
work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees
both hands to operate tool.
•DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Do not use on a ladder or
unstable support. Secure tools when working at
elevated positions.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools
sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before
servicing, or when changing attachments,
blades, bits, cutters, etc., all tools should be
disconnected from power supply.
REMOVE CHUCK KEY. Form habit of checking
to see that chuck key is removed from chuck
before turning tool on.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don't carry
plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure
switch is off when plugging in.
MAKE SUREYOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size
(A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When
tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords
suitable for use outdoors. Outdoor approved
cords are marked with the suffix W-A, for ex-
ample - SJTW-A or SJOW-A.
KEEP BITS CLEAN AND SHARP. Sharp bits
minimize stalling and kickback.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM DRILLING AREA.
Keep hands away from bits. Do not reach
underneath work while bit is rotating. Do not
attempt to remove material while bit is rotating.
NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-
SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could
ignite fumes.
INSPECT TOOL CORDS PERIODICALLY and if
damaged, have repaired by an authorized
service facility. Stay constantly aware of cord
location.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS PERIODI-
CALLY and replace if damaged.
KEEP HANDLES DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE
FROM OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean
cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, or any
strong solvents to clean your tool.
STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL.
Watch what you are doing and use common
sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Do not rush.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use •
of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting and any other conditions that may •
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or re-
placed by an authorized service center.
DO NOT USETOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
DRILLING INTO ELECTRICAL WIRING IN
WALLS CAN CAUSE DRILL BIT AND CHUCK
TO BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE. Do not
touch the chuck or metal housing when drilling •
into a wall; grasp only the insulated handle(s)
provided on the tool.
INSPECT FOR and remove all nails from lumber
before drilling.
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, MEDICATION. Do not
operate this tool while under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). This plugwill fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL
CRAFTSMAN REPLACEMENT PARTS.
SAVETHESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
AWARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
,_ Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means attention!!! Your
safety is involved.
WARNING:
The operation of any drill can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which
can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear

DRILLING
See Figure 9.
• Depress and release the switch trigger to be sure
your drill is in Off position before connecting it to
power supply.
• Check the direction of rotation lever for correct
setting (forward or reverse). See Figure 3.
• Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
• Plug your drill into power supply source.
• Hold your drill firmly and place the bit at the point to
be drilled.
• Depress the switch trigger to start your drill. Do not
lock the switch on for jobs where your drill may
need to be stopped suddenly.
• Move the drill bit into workpiece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not
force your drill or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole. Let your drill and bit do the work. See Figure 9.
When drilling, hard smooth surfaces use a center
punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent
the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is
started. However, the variable speed feature on
models 315.101221 and 315.101231 allows starting
holes without center punching if desired. To accom-
plish this, simply operate your drill at a low speed until
the hole is started.
_l, WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit
breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill
has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the
direction of rotation and could cause loss of
control when breaking through material. If not
prepared, this toss of control can result in
possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece
and determine the reason for jamming.

,_ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 15, are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts represent an important part of the
double insulation system and should be serviced only
at a Sears Service Center.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon
dust, etc.
_h, WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemical_ that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
It has been found that electric tools are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric 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
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
materials it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
,_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust. If operation is
dusty, also wear a dust mask.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent
tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less
in length. When working outdoors, use an extension
cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket
will be marked WA.
ACAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the
drilling area and position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during
drilling operation.
AWARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use
tool with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your drill are available
at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
