KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts
should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic
parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are
making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit
breakers in the line.
BRUSH INSPECTION
(If applicable)
For your continued safety and electrical protection, brush inspection and
replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by an AUTHORIZED ELU
SERVICE STATION.
At approximately 100 hours of use, take or send your tool to your nearest
authorized service station to be thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Have worn
parts replaced and lubricated with fresh lubricant. Have new brushes installed
and test the tool for performance.
Any loss of power before the above maintenance check may indicate the need
for immediate servicing of your tool. DO NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE TOOL
UNDER THIS CONDITION. If proper operating voltage is present, return your
tool to the service station for immediate service.
MAINTENANCE
KEYLESS CHUCKS
Open chuck jaws by turning plastic collar with fingers and insert shank of bit
about 3/4" into chuck. Tighten plastic collar CLOCKWISE while depressing
spindle lock button on the right side of the tool housing (Fig. 4). To release bit,
turn plastic collar COUNTERCLOCKWISE while depressing the spindle lock
button (Fig. 4).
NOTE:
DO NOT DEPRESS LOCK BUTTON WHILE
OPERATING DRILL or while the chuck is moving.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and
brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are
sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon-grease will also serve the purpose.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits
may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For
larger holes, use power drill wood bits. Work that is apt to splinter should be
backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep an even force on the drill
but not so much that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
