Ryobi P211 manuel dutilisation Wood DRILLING, Metal DRILLING, Masonry Drilling

OPERATION

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding at 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 material. 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.

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 workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

NOTE: This drill has an electric brake. When the switch trigger is released, the chuck stops turning. When the brake is functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action of the brake.

WOOD DRILLING

For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling.

 Select normal drilling mode.

Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.

When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.

METAL DRILLING

For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling.

Select normal drilling mode.

Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.

Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure will:

•Overheat the drill;

•Wear the bearings;

•Bend or burn bits; and

•Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.

When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit, then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.

MASONRY DRILLING

For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry impact bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc.

Slide adjustment button on hammer drill left for hammer mode.

Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.

Apply additional pressure for hard materials such as concrete.

When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pressure. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
