Depth scale method (Fig. 31)

1. With the switch (1) OFF, turn the feed handle (2) until the

drill bit tip (3) slightly touches the top of the workpiece (4).

2. Hold the feed handles in that position.

3. Loosen the depth lock knob (5).

4. Spin the depth scale hub (6) until the desired drilling depth is

at the scale pointer.

General Drilling Guidelines

WARNING: To avoid injury, make sure the chuck key is removed from the chuck before

starting any drilling operation.

Drilling speeds

Important factors when determining the best drilling speed:

 Type of material

 Size of the hole to be drilled

 Type of drill bit or cutter

 Desired quality of the cut

Remember, smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits. Softer materials require

greater speed than harder materials.
