CON18LI.fm Page 12 Monday, September 3, 2012 4:29 PM DRILLING TIPS • Always use sharp, good quality drill bits. The performance of your drill is dependant on the quality of the bits used. • After drilling material to the full depth, do not simply pull out the drill but maintain chuck rotation to ease withdrawal. • Reduce the pressure on the drill bit when it is about to break through. This will prevent the drill from jamming. • If drilling a large hole, first drill a pilot hole using a smaller drill bit.
CON18LI.fm Page 13 Monday, September 3, 2012 4:29 PM SCREWDRIVING TIPS • Place the screwdriver bit in the head of the screw and apply light pressure to the drill. • If the screw head is not flush with the material, increase the torque and start again. • Make sure that the screwdriver bit is inserted straight and upright in the screw head, or the screw may be damaged. • When driving wood screws, pre-drill pilot holes to make driving easier and to prevent splitting the material.
