OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
When drilling wood: Place the bit at the point to be drilled. If you are drilling a
hard, smooth surface, use a punch to mark the drill location. Set the Forward/
Reverse Lever to forward (right). Grasp the handle firmly and slowly squeeze the
Trigger (4). Never force the tool. Only apply light pressure when drilling. To stop
drilling, release the Trigger. Note: The further you pull back on the Trigger (4), the
faster the bit will rotate. Maximum drilling depth capacity for wood is 1 inch.
Metal Drilling: Always wear work gloves when handling sheet metal.
Always clamp sheet metal. Use a punch to mark the position of the hole. When
used, light machine oil wil prolong the life of the bit and increase drilling action.
With steel, use oil as a lubricant; aluminum, use turpentine or paraffin; brass, cop-
per and cast iron, use no lubricant. Do not force the tool. Start slowly and let the
weight of the tool do the job. Apply only light pressure for horizontal drilling.
Maximum drilling depth capacity for metal is 3/8 of an inch.
Plastic and plastic coated chipboard:
Use high speed steel drill bits and refer to the wood drilling section on this page.
Warning! If the drill abnormally shakes,
gets hot, smokes and smells, sparks, or
the jaws of the Chuck (10) get stuck in a
workpiece, cut off the power supply and
have the Drill inspected by a qualified
service technician.
Warning! If the bit jams in a workpiece,
or if the drill stalls, stop the tool and
immediatly inplug it. Determine the reason
for jamming before resuming. To remove
a bit, reverse the direction by turning the
Forward/Reverse Lever to the left.
