Operation (continued)
Refer to FIGURE 1, 2, and 3.
Note: When holding the drill in your hand, the Directional Switch points toward the right, the unit will drill forward. When it is pointed to the left, the unit will drill in reverse.
Drilling
1.Securely clamp your workpiece.
2.When drilling wood, place the bit at the point to be drilled. If you are drilling a hard, smooth surface, use a punch to mark the drill location. Set the Directional Switch to forward (right). Grasp the handle firmly and slowly squeeze the Trigger. Never force the tool. Only apply light pressure when drilling. If you need more or less torque, use the Torque Adjustment on the Trigger. Turning the Torque Adjustment screw toward the + sign will add more torque. See FIGURE 3.
Note: When drilling plastics or plastic coated chip board, follow the same directions as stated in number 2 for wood.
Note: If a bit becomes wedged into the workpiece, change the Directional Switch to the reverse position.
3.When drilling metal, always use a punch to mark the drilling position. Use a lubricant to prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action with most metals. With steel, tin, and sheet metal use a light machine oil, with aluminum, use paraffin. Do not use lubricants with brass, copper, and cast iron. Grasp the handle firmly and slowly squeeze the Trigger. Never force the tool. Only apply light pressure when drilling.
4.When driving screws, use bits suitable for the type and size of screw you are using. Drill a pilot hole for the screw head to bite into. Use the lowest torque setting. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands and slowly squeeze the Trigger. Never force the tool. To back out a screw, change the Directional Switch to the reverse position (left).
Using the Lock Button. When you are drilling for extended times and want to take your finger off of the Trigger, use the Lock Button.
Squeeze the Trigger to start the drill, then push the Lock Button. The drill will stay on. When you are finished, just squeeze the Trigger to stop the drill.
