SWITCH
See Figure 11.
To turn your drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it
OFF, release the switch trigger.
Your drill has a two-speed feature in the switch. Depress
the switch trigger halfway for driving screws at low speed.
Depress the switch trigger all the way for normal drilling.
Release the switch trigger to turn drill OFF.
SWITCH LOCK
See Figure 9.
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This
feature helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting
when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the direction
of rotation selector in the center position.
DRILLING
See Figure 12.
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to
mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit
from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the
lower speed feature allows starting holes without center
punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your
drill at lower speed until the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When
these situations occur, the drill has a tendency to grab
and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could
cause loss of control when breaking through mate-
rial. If you are not prepared, this loss of control can
result in possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it
from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and
increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch
trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and
determine the reason for jamming.
