FORWARD / REVERSE ADJUSTMENT
1. For forward (clockwise) rotation, push the forward /reverse switch to the left position.
2. For reverse (counterclockwise) rotation, push the forward/reverse switch to the right position. Although an
interlock prevents reversing the tool while the motor is running, allow it to come to a full stop before reversing.
VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH
WARNING: Always check that the power supply is the same as that indicated on the nameplate of the tool.
This tool has a variable speed switch which can reach higher speed with increased trigger pressure. Speed
is controlled by the pressure to the switch trigger. The variable speed feature is particularly useful when starting
drilling. It also enables you to select the best speed for a particular application.
NOTE: It is recommended to use the variable speed feature for a short time only. Do not continuously operate the tool
at different speeds. It may damage the switch.
START DRILLING
Start the tool by squeezing the variable speed trigger switch. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
HOLE DRILLING
When attempting to drill a large diameter hole, it is sometimes best to start with a smaller drill bit then work up to
the required size. This prevents overloading the drill.
WARNING: Many accidents occur because of unforeseeable situations. Please pay attention that drilling-
out a small hole may cause the drill bit to jam in the hole, especially when drilling metal.
Remember to use a "wood-pecker" action on deep holes to allow the swarf to be ejected from the hole.
- If the drill bit snags, switch off immediately to prevent permanent damage to the drill.
- Try running the drill in reverse to remove the bit.
- Keep the drill in line with the hole. Ideally, the drill bit should enter at right angles to the work. If the angle is
changed during drilling, this could cause the bit to snap off, blocking the hole and perhaps causing injury.
- Reduce pressure as the drill is about to break through the item being drilled.
- Don't force the drill, let it work at its own pace.
- Keep the drill bit sharp.
DRILLING WOOD
For maximum performance when drilling larger holes, use auger bits or spade bits for wood drilling.
- Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as it
bites into the wood.
- When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent ragged or splintered edges
on the back of the hole.
DRILLING METAL
For maximum performance, use HSS drill bits for metal drilling.
- Mark off the center of the hole using a center punch.
- Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are working on.
- Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
- Always clamp sheet metal. Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid distorting it.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products penetrating oils, etc... come in
contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy the housing, thus
compromising the integrity of of the double insulation.
WARNING: Always disconnect the device before performing any adjustment or maintenance operation. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent in order to avoid a
hazard. Disconnect from the power supply immediately if the supply cord is damaged. Take care not to expose
this tool to the rain. If the carbon brushes need to be replaced, have this done by a qualified repair person (always
replace the two brushes at the same time) Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Never
use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool
in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may
see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool. The ambient
