You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in
contact with the work before pulling the
trigger. During the operation, hold the tool
firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too
much pressure at low speed will stall the tool.
Too little pressure will keep the bit from
cutting and cause excess friction by sliding
over the surface. This can be damaging to
both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature
will eliminate the need for center punches in
hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using
a slow starting speed, you are able to keep
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
The procedure shown in figure. 6 will enable
you to fasten materials together with your
Cordless Screwdriver without stripping,
splitting, or separating the material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the
material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper length.
If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the
second hole the same diameter as the screw
shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if a flat head screw is used, countersink
the hole to make the screw flush with the
surface. Then, simply apply even pressure
when driving the screw. The screw shank
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.
DRILL BITS
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear.
Use only bits that are sharp and in good
condition.
TWIST BITS: Available with straight and
reduced shanks for wood and light duty metal
drilling. High speed bits cut faster and last
longer on hard materials.
CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling
stone, concrete, plaster, cement and other
unusually hard nonmetals. Use continuous
heavy feed pressure when employing carbide
tip bits.
Operating Tips
the bit from "wandering". You can increase
the speed as the bit "bites" into the work by
squeezing the trigger.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
Variable speed drills will double as a power
screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the
drill mode. The technique is to start slowly,
increasing the speed as the screw runs
down. Set the screw snugly by slowing to a
stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and
clearance holes should be drilled.
WARNING
a tether. Hanger is meant to be used for
storage.
FASTENING
WITH SCREWS
1. Drill 2/3 diameter and
2/3 of screw length for
soft materials, full
length for hard
materials.
Apply a slight
even pressure
when driving
screws.
Be certain workpiece is clamped or anchored
firmly. Always apply pressure in a straight line
with the drill bit. Maintain enough pressure to
keep the drill "biting".
When drilling holes in wood, twist bits can be
used. Twist bits may overheat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from flutes.
Use a "back-up" block of wood for work that is
likely to splinter, such as thin materials.
You will drill a cleaner hole if you ease up on
the pressure just before the bit breaks through
the wood. Then complete the hole from the
back side.
