Preparing the tool for use / Cleaning and Maintenance / Disposal

Hard screw bed:

jParticularly high torques can occur, for example with metal screws tightened by socket tool bits. Select a lower rotation speed.

Soft screw bed:

jYou should also select a low speed in order not to damage the wood workpiece surface through contact with the metal screw head. Use a coun- tersinker.

When drilling into wood, metal and other materials, take note of the following advice:

jWith small diameter drill bits use a high drill speed. For large diameter drill bits, use a low drill speed.

jFor hard materials, select a low drill speed. For soft materials, select a high drill speed.

jSecure or fix down the workpiece (if possible) in a clamp or vice.

jMark the intended position of the hole with a centre punch or a nail and select a low drill speed for drilling.

jTake the rotating drill bit out of the hole frequently so that swarf or drill dust can be re-moved and the hole and tool is ventilated.

Drilling in metal:

jUse a metal drill bit (HSS). For the best results, you should cool the bit with oil. Metal drill bits can also be used to drill into plastic.

Drilling in stone:

jUse a circular shafted masonry drill bit with a hardened metal tip.

Drilling in wood:

jNormally you should use a wood drill with a centring point. For deep holes, use an auger type bit. For large diameter holes, use a forstner bit. You can screw small screws into soft wood without the need for pre-drilling.
