Reversing switch action
(Fig. 5 for DP4700 & Fig. 6 for 6402)
CAUTION:
·Always check the direction of rotation before drilling.
·Use the reversing switch only after the machine comes to a complete stop. Changing the direction of rotation before the machine stops may damage the machine.
This machine has a reversing switch to change the direction of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever
to the 
position (DP4700)/the ``FWD'' position
(6402) for clockwise rotation or the position (DP4700) /the ``REV'' position (6402) for counter- clockwise rotation.
Drilling operation
·Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the 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.
·Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION:
·Pressing excessively on the machine will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the machine performance and shorten the service life of the machine.
·There is a tremendous force exerted on the machine/bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the machine 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 order to back out. However, the machine may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly.
·Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
