The Bauer 64121 is a 13A, 2-speed right angle drill designed for heavy-duty drilling. Before using the tool, ensure the trigger is in the off-position and the tool is unplugged. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses and use the auxiliary handle for control. If the drill bit binds, release the trigger immediately to prevent injury.


Safety Information
General Power Tool Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate in explosive atmospheres. Keep children and bystanders away.
Electrical Safety: Ensure the power tool plug matches the outlet. Do not modify the plug. Use a grounded outlet or a double-insulated tool. If operating outdoors, use an extension cord marked for outdoor use.

Practical help
Common problems
Check that the power cord is plugged in, the outlet has power, the thermal reset breaker is not tripped, and there is no internal damage.
Avoid forcing the tool to work too fast. If using an extension cord, ensure it has the proper diameter for its length and load.
Allow the tool to work at its own rate, keep bits sharp, and ensure motor housing vents are not blocked.
Before use
- Inspect the tool for loose hardware or damaged parts.
- Ensure the trigger is in the off-position before plugging in.
- Wear ANSI-approved safety glasses with side shields.
- Secure the workpiece using a vise or clamps.
- Verify the speed switch is fully engaged in the L or H position.
