WARNING!
Use the correct specification of drill bit for
the material and power tool you are working
with. Incorrect selection may cause damage
to the tool, workpiece or bit.
NOTE
Check that the drill is correctly inserted into
the chuck before starting the tool.
If loose, clamp the work piece. The work
m
piece should lie flat on a workbench, and/or
be securely fixed.
Mark out the position of the hole by suitable
m
means.
Use a suitable drill for your material.
m
Ensure all drills are sharp.

When drilling in metal, make sure that the

drill is always sufficiently cooled with a non-
flammable liquid.
Start drilling at low speed.

If you are drilling large holes, pre drill with a
m
small drill and then finish off with a large drill.
Do not force the tool - do not press too
m
hard on the drill.
NOTE
The drill can jam in deep holes. Release the
power switch immediately if the drill jams.
Switch to anticlockwise rotation and run the
drill loose at low speed.
