Wood Drilling
•For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling.
•Move drilling/hammer mode selector to drilling mode 
.
•Secure the workpiece to prevent it from turning when drilling.
•Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
•When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.
•Do not lock the trigger in the ‘on’ position when the drill may need to be stopped suddenly.
Metal drilling
•For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling.
•Move drilling/hammer mode selector to drilling mode 
.
•Use a centre punch to mark the hole location on the workpiece.
•Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
•Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure will:
Overheat the drill
Wear the bearings
Bend or burn bits
Produce
•When drilling large holes in metal it is recommended to drill with a small bit at first, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
Masonry drilling
•For maximum performance use tungsten
•Move drilling/hammer mode selector to hammer mode 
.
•Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.
•Apply additional pressure and high speed for hard materials such as concrete.
•When drilling in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pressure.
Cleaning
1.Keep your machine and its cord clean. The outside of the machine can be cleaned using a damp soft cloth with a mild detergent if required.
2.Some maintenance products and solvents may damage the plastic parts; these include products containing benzene, trichloroethylene, chloride and ammonia.
3.Excessive sparking generally indicates the presence of dirt in the motor or abnormal wear on the carbon brushes.
4.Take special care to keep the ventilation inlets/outlets free from obstruction; cleaning with a soft brush followed by a compressed air jet will usually be sufficient to ensure acceptable internal cleanliness.
5.Wear eye protection when carrying out cleaning.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the drill.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
