then enlarge to the required size, it’s often
faster in the long run. Maintain enough
pressure to assure that the bit does not just
spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and greatly
shorten its life.
DRILLING MASONRY
Soft materials such as brick are relatively easy
to drill. Concrete however, will require much
more pressure to keep the bit from spinning. Be
sure to use carbide tip bits for all masonry
work.
Before using an accessory, be certain that its
maximum safe operating speed is not
exceeded by the nameplate speed of the
tool. Do not exceed the recommended wheel
diameter.
RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attachments. The technique is to start
slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs
down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the
drill to a stop. If this procedure is not followed,
the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist
i
n your hands when the nut or bolt seats.
HOLE SAWS
Keep hands away from
cutting area and hole saw.
Keep your second hand on the side
handle or motor housing.
If both hands
are holding the drill, they cannot be cut by
the hole saw. Hold the drill firmly to prevent
loss of control. Unplug drill when removing
core.
Hole saws are Ideal for use with lock
installation kits for 2-1/8” deadbolts or
locksets with 15/16” or 1” latch hole in
wooden and composition doors.
