GB
• Use rotary drill mode only.
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and
are within the maximum capacity of the drill (see specifications above).
• To ensure efficient cutting, and prolong drill bit life, use a suitable
lubricant or cutting fluid.
CAUTION
Applying excess pressure does not result in faster or more efficient drilling.
If the pressure applied to the drill has a noticeable effect on the speed
of the drill then reduce the pressure. Overloading the drill will reduce its
service life.
As the drill bit penetrates the material being drilled, it may "catch" or
"snag". This can cause the machine to suddenly "kick", to prevent any
possibility of injury always hold the drill securely, use the side handle, and
use sharp drill bits.
Always ensure that material is secure. If appropriate use a vice or clamp
to hold the work, always keep two hands on the drill.
Maintenance and Disposal
Cleaning
• Disconnect the machine from the mains supply before cleaning.
• Keep your machine clean. Always clean dust and particles away,
and never allow ventilation holes to become blocked. Use a soft brush, or
dry cloth to clean the machine, if available blow through the ventilation
holes with clean, dry, compressed air.
Replacement brushes
• Over time, the carbon brushes in the motor will wear away. This wear
process will be accelerated if the machine is used in dusty environments,
or if the machine is overloaded.
• If the brushes have become excessively worn; motor performance may
decrease, the machine may fail to start, or excessive sparking may be
observed.
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised service centre.
Disposal
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), with household waste.
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the proper
way to dispose of power tools.
