OPERATION
SWITCH
See Figure 11.
To turn your drill ON, depress the switch trigger. To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.
Your drill has a
SWITCH LOCK
See Figure 9.
The switch trigger can be locked in the OFF position. This feature helps reduce the possibility of accidental starting when not in use. To lock the switch trigger, place the direction of rotation selector in the center position.
DRILLING
See Figure 12.
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the lower speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate your drill at lower speed until the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, the drill has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when breaking through mate- rial. If you are not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
