Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wooddrillsequippedwithaguidescrew.Theguidescrew
makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
Topreventthedrillbitfromslippingwhenstartinga
hole, make an indentation with a center-punch and
hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the
drill bit in the indentation and start drilling.
Useacuttinglubricantwhendrillingmetals.Theexcep-
tions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool
will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive
pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your drill
bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the
service life of the tool.
CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly and exert care
when the drill bit begins to break through the
workpiece.Thereisatremendousforceexertedon
the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
CAUTION: A stuck drill bit can be removed
simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse
rotation in order to back out. However, the tool
may back out abruptly if you do not hold it rmly.
CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a
vise or similar hold-down device.
CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
