edited to add: NEVER MIND-- i figured it out, lol. I'm adding this edit at the top of the OP so anyone hovering over threads on the forum page can read this little tidbit :-)

=============

dh just left for a trip, and isn't answering his cell phone. I already know it's a long flight so he won't be answering his phone till this evening. In the meantime, I *really* want to drill a hole into this piece of wood!! I had his old drill figured out, then he switched to the cordless one. Can't find the instruction manual and a google search ain't helping.

There are numbers 1-25 on the black section that twists around behind the drill area. There is also a little symbol that LOOKs like a drill bit, but it doesn't seem to be catching the drill bit --i must be missing a step somewhere....

SO --if anyone happens to have a Skil [X?] Drive 18volt cordless drill and can walk me through the process, I'd appreciate it, lol. feel free to PM or email me at webnotions@yahoo.com

Not sure if I'll help much, but on mine you have to pull the tip back, where the bit goes in. It pulls back and then once the bit is in, it locks.
