DRILLING
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment,
as instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the
bit biting but not so much as to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.
WARNING:
•
overloaded causing a sudden twist.
Always expect the stall. Grip the drill
firmly with both hands to control the
twisting action and avoid injury.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A
STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO
THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling
the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help
reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same
twist drill bits used for metal or with spade
bits. These bits should be sharp and should
be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulfurized
cutting oil or lard oil.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to
Drilling section. Keep even force on the
drill but not so much that you crack the
brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before
making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean
the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
