REVERSING SWITCH LEVER |
|
The reversing switch lever revers- |
|
es the rotation of the drill bit. It is |
|
located just above the trigger |
|
switch. ALWAYS turn the motor off |
|
and let the bit come to a |
|
complete stop before moving the | F R |
switch. |
|
Move the switch to the right for a forward rotation of the bit. Move the switch to the left to put the bit into reverse.
Do not change the direction of a moving bit. Make sure the bit comes to a complete standstill before moving switch. Changing direction while the bit is moving can cause damage to the drill.
HAMMER / DRILL SELECTOR
• To use the tool as a hammer, move the hammer/drill selector switch to the left.
• To use the tool as a drill, move the hammer/drill selector switch to the right.
USING THE DEPTH GAUGE
When drilling to a preset depth, use the adjustable depth gauge to mark the exact depth needed.
• Insert depth gauge into the hole in the side of the handle.
• Determine drilling depth needed.
• Loosen the handle and lower the gauge until the distance between the end of the depth gauge and the end of the drilling bit equals the required depth. Tighten the handle.
• Drill until the material touches the end of the depth gauge. The hole will be the desired depth.
DRILLING WOOD
•Always clamp the work piece to a steady base. Never hold in your hand or across your legs.
•Apply pressure in line with the bit. Applying pressure at an angle could cause the bit to bind or break.
•Thin materials that may splinter should be drilled with another piece of wood placed underneath.
•Twist bits can be used for wood drilling but will overheat if the flutes are not cleared of wood chips periodically.
•To prevent splintering when finishing holes, stop drilling just before the hole breaks through and complete the hole from the other side.
DRILLING MASONRY
•Always use carbide tip bits for drilling masonry.
•Use an even pressure, hard enough to keep the drill biting, but not so hard that the bit spins in the hole. Spinning the bit will dull it quickly. Bricks and similar soft materials will take less pressure than a hard material like concrete.
