See Figures 8 and 9.
nDepress and release switch trigger to be sure your drill
is in OFF position before connecting it to power supply. | LEVEL |
n Check the direction of rotation lever for correct setting
(forward or reverse). See Figure 4. |
| |
n Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps |
| |
to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates. |
| |
n Plug your drill into power supply source. |
| |
n Hold your drill firmly and place bit at the point to be | END VIEW | |
drilled. | ||
| ||
n Depress the switch trigger to start your drill. Do not lock |
| |
the switch ON for jobs where your drill may need to be |
| |
stopped suddenly. |
| |
n Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough |
| |
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force your drill or |
| |
apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let your drill and |
| |
bit do the work. See Figures 8 and 9. |
|
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When |
|
these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab |
|
and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and |
|
could cause loss of control when breaking through | Fig. 8 |
materials. If not prepared, this loss of control can |
|
result in possible serious injury. |

When drilling hard, smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the variable speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, operate your drill at a low speed until the hole is started.
When drilling metals use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in the work piece or if your drill stalls, stop the | LEVEL |
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the work piece and |
|
determine the reason for jamming. |

LEVEL DRILLING
See Figures 8 and 9.
A convenient feature provided on your drill is a level. It is recessed in the motor housing on your drill. It can be used to keep drill bits level during both horizontal and vertical drilling operations.
