First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer on the adjusting ring points to the
0Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.
0Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, makean indentation with a center- punch and hammer a t the point to be drilled place the point of the bit in the indenta- tion and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION :
*Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool.
*There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit a t the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.
A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in orderto back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
0 Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
Overload protector
The overload protector automatically cuts out to break the circuit whenever heavy work is prolonged.Wait 20 - 30 seconds before resumingoperation.
CAUTION:
Always withdraw the tool from the workpiece before resuming operation. If the tool cannot be withdrawn, hold the tool firmly when turning on the tool, to overcome a strong reaction.
