2.A higher setting equals more torque; therefore, position #1 (low torque) is appropriate for driving screws into wood without stripping the screw, but would not provide enough torque for drilling or driving into harder materials.
(See Figure E.)
3.Position #20 is indicated by a drill bit icon and should be used for drilling only.
(See Figure E.)
Drill Bit Selection
1.Always use sharp drill bits. Sharp bits are less likely to bind when drilling.
2.Use the proper drill bit for the job. There are many types of bits designed for specific purposes. Check the information on the bit’s packaging for proper usage.
3.Do not use drill bits larger than the rated capacity of the Drill/Driver. Gear damage or motor overload may result.
Drilling An Object
1.CAUTION! Do not operate the Drill/Driver before placing a drill bit on the material.
2.Avoid overloading the Drill/Driver. Do not apply excessive pressure to the Drill/ Driver while drilling. If the speed of the tool drops abnormally, decrease the pressure immediately. If the drill bit stops abruptly or the bit becomes blocked, release the Power Switch (10) at once.
3.Ensure the safety of the work space. Clear the work area of all parts and debris that may cause injury by flying objects.
4.Before drilling, clamp the object down securely. A poorly secured piece of material may result in personal injury and/or inaccurate drilling.
5.When drilling in a light gauge metal or wood, use a wooden block (not included) to back up the material to prevent damage to the workpiece.
6.Mark the center of the hole to be drilled with a center punch to give the drill bit a start and to prevent the bit from “walking.”
7.Lubricate the drill bit with cutting oil (not included) when drilling iron or steel. Use a coolant when drilling nonferrous metals such as copper, brass, or aluminum.
.Grip the Drill/Driver firmly with both hands. Place the drill bit on the spot that is to be drilled.
9.To begin drilling, squeeze the Power Switch (10).
