Bostitch BTC400LB Screw Driving, Drilling in Wood, Drilling in Metal, Drilling in Masonry

WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten or loosen drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when changing accessories.

Screw Driving

• For driving fasteners, the forward/reverse button should be pushed to the left.

• Use reverse (button pushed to the right) for removing fasteners.

NOTE: When moving from forward to reverse, or vice versa, always release the trigger switch first.

Drilling

• Use sharp drill bits only.

• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.

• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.

• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the Safety Instructions.

• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.

• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

• Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the battery area or the auxillary handle if provided.

• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.

• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.

• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.

• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.

Drilling in Wood

Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips from the flutes.

Drilling in Metal

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.

Drilling in Masonry

Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

LED Work Light

When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the integrated LED work light (9) will automatically illuminate the work area. NOTE: The work light is for lighting the immediate work surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.

On Board Bit Storage

A bit storage holder (6) is built-in to the area on the side of the battery.
