Hints for optimum use
Drilling
◆
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line
with the drill bit.
◆
Just before the drill tip breaks through the
other side of the workpiece, decrease pressure
on the tool.
◆
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces
that may splinter.
◆
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter
holes in wood.
◆
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
◆
Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
◆
Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than
cast iron and brass.
◆
Make an indentation using a centre punch at
the centre of the hole to be drilled in order to
improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
◆
Always use the correct type and size of
screwdriver bit.
◆
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a
small amount of washing liquid or soap as a
lubricant.
◆
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a
straight line with the screw.
