DRILLING IN MASONRY

When drilling in masonry, use SDS carbide tipped bits rated for per- cussion drilling and be certain that the bit is sharp. Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

Depth Rod

TO ADJUST THE DEPTH ROD

1.Push in and hold the button on the side handle.

2.Move the rod so the distance between the end of the rod and the end of the bit equals the desired drilling depth.

3.Release the button to lock rod into position.

When drilling with the depth rod, stop when end of rod reaches

An SDS to round shank adaptor chuck is required. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. (D25101, D25201 has no drill-only mode). Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. 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 sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon-grease will also serve the purpose.

NOTE: Large (5/16" to 1/2") holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16") is drilled first.

DRILLING IN WOOD

(D25103, D25203, D25303, D25304)

An SDS to round shank adaptor chuck is required. Ensure that tool is in drill-only mode. (D25101, D25201 have no drill-only mode). Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out fre- quently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.

Maintenance

CLEANING & LUBRICATION

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liq- uid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Self-lubricating bearings are used in the tool and periodic relubrication is not required. In the unlikely event that service is ever needed, take your tool to an authorized service location.

Accessories

CAUTION: When handling accessories after use, wear work gloves. Accessories may be hot and may burn skin.

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your distributor or local service center.

CAUTION: The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous.
