Troubleshooting
Drilling metal
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal and are within the
maximum capacity of the machine (see “Specifications”)
• Mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch to
ensure accuracy
WARNING: The drill bit and the workpiece will become very hot when drilling
metal. DO NOT touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with
combustible materials when hot. Always use a suitable lubricant or cutting
fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
• Apply only moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and
prolonged drill bit life
• Use a countersink bit to remove sharp burrs from the hole, preventing cuts
and other kinds of injury
• While drilling ensure swarf material does not enter the Motor Vents (1) of
the drill
Accessories
• A range of T12 accessories, including T12B 1.5Ah battery pack, T12HCB
3Ah battery pack and T12BC battery charger are available from your
Triton dealer. All Triton T12 power tools share use of the same batteries
and battery charger so by purchasing additional T12 power tools you
can supplement your number of batteries and the ability to charge more
than one battery pack simultaneously. This will increase the frequency of
charged battery packs for larger DIY projects
• Spare parts can be purchased from your Triton dealer or online at www.
toolsparesonline.com

your machine with a soft brush or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry,
compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes

no longer functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, batteries or other waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE), with household waste
