OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the drill. Always use sharpened drill bits. Do not apply excessive pressure to the drill while using. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease pressure immediately. If the bit stops abruptly or becomes blocked, release the trigger at once. Reverse the direction to free the drill bit.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and debris that may cause injury by flying objects. Securely fix the object to be drilled or fastened in a vise or other- wise clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold workpiece by hand.
Inspect the drill before use. Run the drill before using to ensure all parts are running smoothly and there are no abnormal sounds or sparks. If any defect is found, have unit serviced.
Match your speed to your torque. Use low torque and high speeds for bor- ing through light materials. Use low torque and low speeds for driving screws into light materials. For the highest setting, combine a low speed with the “Drill Bit” symbol on the Torque Setting Ring.
Know your worksite. Only drill as deep as necessary. Check behind walls for wires, other electrical hazards, or plumbing.
Use accessories properly. Use the low- est possible torque setting when dri- ving fasteners. This will increase the life span of the driving bit and pre- vent damage to the fastener.
