Drill Operation (Fig. A)
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood "back-
up" block to prevent damage to the material.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
8
gear shifter
to match the speed and torque to the
planned operation.
2. For WOOD, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or
hole saws. For METAL, use high-speed steel twist drill bits
or hole saws. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be
drilled dry.
3. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the drill bit biting, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
4. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill.
5. IF DRILL sTaLLs, it is usually because it is being
overloaded. RELEasE TRIGGER IMMEDIaTELY, remove
drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO nOT
cLIck TRIGGER OFF anD On In an aTTEMPT TO sTaRT
a sTaLLED DRILL – THIs can DaMaGE THE DRILL.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Hammerdrill Operation (Fig. A)
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the gear shifter
to match the speed and torque to the planned operation.
Set the torque adjustment collar
2. Select the high speed 3 setting by sliding the gear shifter
back (away form the chuck).
3. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to
keep it from bouncing excessively. Prolonged and too much
force on the hammer will cause slower drilling speeds and
potential overheating.
4. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do
not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this will
cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
5. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to
drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool
still running to help clear debris from the hole.
6. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits or masonry bits. A
smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
