ready2fish Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thought I would share this really easy way to lock out your drill motor during transportation. Simply insert cotter pin in the forward position so drill motor will not accidently turn on and remove it and insert it in the storage hole during use. Total coast was 42 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Brewer Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 That's a good idea, I just pull the battery off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlander Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Don't all drills switches have a center neutral position so they don't accidentally turn on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Brewer Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 most drill switches do, but its easy to accidentally bump it when digging through your sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad B Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It is recommended that you pull the battery off the drill when you are using it so you can keep it warm. I never transport the drill/auger with the battery on it. I put the battery on only when I am ready to drill a hole and take it off right away after I am done.
