CAUTION
Applyingexcesspressuredoesnotresultinfasterormoreefcientdrilling.
If the pressure applied to the drill has a noticeable effect on the speed
of the drill then reduce the pressure. Overloading the drill will reduce its
service life.
As the drill bit penetrates the material being drilled, it may “catch” or
“snag”. This can cause the machine to suddenly “kick”, to prevent any
possibility of injury always hold the drill securely, use the side handle, and
use sharp drill bits.
Always ensure that material is secure. If appropriate use a vice or clamp
to hold the work, always keep two hands on the drill.
Maintenance and Disposal
Cleaning
• Disconnectthemachinefromthemainssupplybeforecleaning.
• Keepyourmachineclean.Alwayscleandustandparticlesaway,
and never
allow ventilation holes to become blocked. Use a soft brush, or dry cloth
to clean the machine, if available blow through the ventilation holes with
clean, dry, compressed air.
Replacement brushes
• Overtime,thecarbonbrushesinthemotorwillwearaway.Thiswear
process will be accelerated if the machine is used in dusty environments,
or if the machine is overloaded.
