OPERATION
1. Check the direction-of-rotation selector
for the correct setting (forward or
reverse).
2. Use a vise or clamps to secure the
material to be drilled to keep it from
turning as the drill bit rotates.
3. Hold the cordless drill/driver firmly, and
place the bit at the point to be drilled.
4. Depress the trigger switch to start the
cordless drill.
5. Move the drill bit into the workpiece,
applying only enough pressure to keep
the bit cutting.
6. Do not force the cordless drill/driver or
apply sideways pressure to elongate a
hole. Allow the tool to do the work.
7. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces,
use a center punch to mark the desired
location of the hole. This will prevent the
drill bit from slipping off-center when
the hole is started.
8. When drilling metal, use light oil on the
drill bit to prevent it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit and
will increase the drilling efficiency.
9. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if
the drill/driver stalls, stop the tool
immediately. Reverse the direction of
rotation and gently squeeze the trigger
to remove the bit from the workpiece.
Investigate and correct the cause of
jamming before resuming work.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding
when the bit breaks through the workpiece,
because the drill/driver has a tendency
to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation, which could cause a loss of
control. If the operator is not prepared, this
loss of control could result in serious injury.
REMOVING A BIT (FIG. 11B)
1. Lock the trigger switch by placing the
direction-of rotation selector in the OFF
(center) position.
2. Open the jaws of the chuck (rotate in the
“OPEN” direction.)
3. Remove the drill bit.
GENERAL DRILLING (FIG. 12)
WARNING:
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If the operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
