To begin drilling
1. When starting a hole, make a mark on the surface of the workpiece, and
then drill a small hole.
2. Hold the drill firmly with both hands.
3. Depress the trigger switch to start the drill, gradually increasing speed.
For continuous or extended operation, hold the Lock-On button while
depressing the trigger switch.
4. Apply pressure in line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the drill
biting, but do not push hard enough to stall the motor.
NOTE: If the drill begins to stall, reduce the pressure slightly to allow the bit
to regain speed. If the bit binds, reverse the motor to free the bit from the
workpiece.
5. After completing the drilling operation, release the trigger switch, and
allow the bit to come to a complete stop before setting the drill down.
6. When work has been completed, clean the drill to allow for smooth
operation of the drill over time.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, never touch the bit to clean the
debris until the drill has stopped rotating and the bit has cooled down.
Drilling in various materials
1. Choose the hammer-drilling function when drilling in hard masonry
(concrete, hard brick, stone, cement, or marble).
2. Choose the drilling function when drilling in soft masonry (tile, flooring, soft
brick, lime cement, or cinder block), wood or plastic.
3. When drilling in a smooth surface, attach adhesive paper at the drilling
location to prevent the bit from gliding.
Drilling in wood and plastic
1. Start the drill slowly, and increase speed gradually.
2. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear
chips from the bit flutes.
3. Use low speeds for plastic that has a low melting point.
Drilling in metal
1. Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel.
2. Do not use a lubricant when drilling in nonferrous metals, such as copper,
brass or aluminium.
