The harder the material, the slower the speed required. The softer the
material, the faster the speed.
3. When drilling a large hole, it is easier to first drill a smaller hole and then
enlarge it to the required size.
4. The use of a lubricant, such as oil, on the drill point helps keep the bit
cool, increases drilling action and prolongs drill bit life.
MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic
parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean
plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug
are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open
circuit breakers in the line.
