MATERIALS
Use a sharp drill bit especially designed to cut the material you are working on.
Generally speaking, metal and plastics drilling would be performed at low speeds.
It is recommended you use a cutting fluid on metal surfaces except cast iron and
brass to avoid heat buildup.
Higher speeds are more suitable for drilling in wood. It is possible to use metal
drills in wood, but be sure to stop frequently to clear the flutes of shavings or heat
buildup may cause damage to the material or the bit.
• Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. This will help prevent possible electri-
cal shorts and ensure proper cooling.
• Keep the tool housing clean, free of oil and grease by using mild soap and a
damp (not wet) cloth.
• Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if
it is damaged.
• Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and should not be necessary again
under normal use.
Should the chuck require replacement,
1.
Warning:
Disconnect the tool from power.
2. Open the chuck jaws as widely as possible so you can get at the chuck retain-
ing screw.
3. Unscrew the chuck retaining screw with a Phillips screwdriver and remove it.
Note that this is a left-hand threaded screw and you remove it by turning it
clockwise.
4. Clamp the shorter arm of a large Allen wrench in the chuck, aligning it with the
jaws so they grip three of its six the flat sides.
5. Tighten the chuck’s jaws onto the Allen wrench, using the chuck key in the man-
ner described in Operating the Chuck, above.
6. Place the drill on a flat surface, and support the chuck with a piece of wood
about 25mm or 1" above that surface.
7. A wrench can be used to further hold the shaft steady if need be. There are two
flatted surfaces just behind the chuck that can be held with a wrench.
8. Strike the long arm of the Allen wrench in the chuck with a hammer so that the
chuck loosens, turning counter-clockwise. This may require a fairly sharp blow.
It can then be unscrewed from the spindle by hand.
9. Repeat the process in reverse to install a new chuck.
• An authorized repair centre should do any repairs, modification, or maintenance
that involve disassembling the tool.
• Any damage to the tool should be corrected at an authorized repair centre.
