OPERATING PROCEDURES
METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel
„
drilling.
Push drilling mode selector to drilling mode
„
Use a center punch to mark the hole location on the workpiece.
„
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the
„
starting point.
Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the
„
bit. Applying too much pressure will overheat the drill, wear the bearings, bend
or burn bits, produce off-center or irregular shaped holes.
When drilling large holes in metal, it is recommended to drill with a small bit
„
at first, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve
drilling action and increase bit life.
WOOD DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling.
„
Secure the workpiece to prevent it from turning when drilling.
„
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit slipping off the starting
„
point. Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
When drilling through-holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to
„
prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.
Do not lock the trigger in the "on" position when the drill may need to be
„
stopped suddenly.
MAINTENANCE
Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible
„
electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.
Keep the tool housing clean, free of oil and grease by using mild soap and a
„
damp (not wet) cloth.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility
„
if it is damaged.
Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and should not be necessary
„
again under normal use.
Should the chuck require replacement,
„
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Open the chuck jaws as widely as possible so you can get at the chuck
retaining screw.
3. Unscrew the chuck retaining screw with a phillps screwdriver.
NOTE: This is a left hand threaded screw and you remove it by turning it
clockwise.
4. Clamp the shorter arm of a large allen wrench in the chuck, aligning it
with the jaws so they grip three of its six flat sides.
5. Close the jaws manually.
6. Place the drill on a flat surface, and support the chuck with a piece wood
about 8 mm or 3/8" above that surface.
7. Strike the long arm of the wrench with a hammer so that the chuck turns
counter-clockwise and unscrews from the spindle.
This may require a fairly sharp blow.
8. Repeat the process in reverse to install a new chuck.
WARNING! Repairs should be made by an authorized repair centre. Opening
this tool could invalidate your warranty.
